preferential TARIFF. LONDON June 20.
During the committee stage of tlie Financial Bill, and the House of Commons had a sharp interesting debate on Mr McKenzie Wood’s amendment to omit the words that meant giving Empire grown teas a preference-over foreign grown teas. The mover argued Imperial preference for tea wa 8 necessary and had not stimulated trade within the Empire. If logically carried out, it must involve an all round system of protection. Colonel Wedgevvood declared that any .gift of preference to the Dominion involved taxation on Home food. Sir R. Horne alleged the effect on food had been the opposite of this, saying preference had increased trade within the Dominions. Preference was not based upon a mere sentiment, but on very’ material advantages given to this country by the Dominions. The amendment was defeated.
