TRADE WITH HOMELAND
i THE PREFERENCE QUESTION. ; By Telegraph—Proaa Association —Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received May 1. 9.40 a.m.) SYDNEY, May 1. 1 One of the delegates representing ) Australian fruit and produce interests j who visited London on behalf of the ! Federal Government to inquire into questions of reciprocal treatment and trade generally has returned to Sydney. The impression he gained was that, while business men in London and the provinces were opposed to any mention of preference duties, they freely recognised now that the Empire Economic Conference must evolve some ; machinery that, would assure the doI minions closer preferential trading coni ditions. He added that the atmosphere j was never better for the development | of closer trade relations between Aus- ' tralia and the Homeland, j As the result of inquiries, he urgsd 1 the need for careful attention to the i grading and packing of goods, and the ! si andardisation of qualities of butter | and honey, in order to compete with | goods from other supplying countries.
