By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. United Press Association. Melbourne, January IS. The Federal Government is prepared to give Canada and New Zealand the benefit of the British preferential duties tariff, provided Australian goods are allowed to enter those countries at British rates. A Bill will be introduced next session to provide that the preference shall apply to Canadian goods, but several items will probably bo excepted. Mr Tudor declared that if they had tho reciprocity treaty there would have been no difficulty about subsidising mail steamers, but it was not advisable to grant a subsidy to steamers calling at New Zealand, unless they had reciprocity. During 1910, .Australia exported £BO,OOO worth of goods to Canada. Had the preferential rate been in existence she would have saved £7727.
Canadian exports to Australia for tho same period were £110,294. Preference would have saved £OIOO.
