TRADE CONFERENCE.
A "MILK AND WATER" AFFAIR. (BY C.\.3LE-rPSI!SS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received October 31st, p.m.) GENEVA, October 31. Although nothing definite has yet been accomplished at the Trade Conference, the position is clearer. Thus far difficulties have arisen through certain States desiring to maintain temporary prohibitions actually in force. _ Thus Britain prohibits the importation of dyes, and Germany, as an offset, has made what she considered a compensating prohibition in respect, of pit coal. Other European countries, owing to the cost of coal, have had to keep back their resources of iron and other commodities. The present attit'u.l-3 of the States now represented at Geneva is to allow the maintenance of existing prohibitions for-a limited period, but these v.ust be made known at the time of signature at Geneva. The opinion is that the Convention will be a milk and water affair with little binding force.
