IMPERIAL PREFERENCE

SUBSTANTIAL ADVANTAGES TO DOMINION. WELLINGTON, October 19. In an address at the luncheon of the New Zealand Chub Sir Newton Moor 6 said that New Zealand had been unfortunate in the past in that none of the products she exports received any benefit under the small measure of T mperial preference which operated hitherto. “1 trust that in the near future exporters of mutton, lamb and ing substantial advantages in the British market, and I hope the preferences already extended to dried fruits, sugar and so forth, produced in other dominions, will be made more effective,” he said. “The splendid preferences which your tariff gives Great Britain should certainly have warranted more attention by British' exporters, and'

I have taken many 'occasions at Home to point to this fact. However, in your own interests I do suggest that no New Zealander shoui'd purchase any foreign manufactured article until he is satisfied that his requirements cannot be met by Great Britain, and it may be well worth your while to consider extending the preferences you already give the Motherland.”
