TRADE TREATY WITH CANADA.
PRIME MINISTER’S STATEMENT. United Press Association—Ey Electric Tel egr anh—Co*? vri ght VANCOUVER, July g. Referring to the agitation against the New Zealand Treaty, the Prime Minister, Mr Mackenzie King, in an election address issued a warning that the Government was not going to abrogate the treaty and throw away a great Empire market. He said: “Let us pause before we make dissension with our sister Dominion that may cost us a valuable market. We are just on the threshold of trade with that country.” The situation had changed since the Treaty was negotiated, when both Canada and New Zealand were butter exporters, he said. Now Canadian exporters were practically nil, due to the fact that the farmers were chiefly int in grain production. A change in the Treaty was only requested with a view to revising it partly to meet the demands of Canadian dairying interests.
