COUNCIL OF COMMERCE.
DEFENCE OF TRADE. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] London, November 28. At the Council of Commerce banquet, Sir Sidney Buxton testified to the great assistance the Trade Commissioners had given the Government by bringing information whereby manufacturers were enabled sometimes to meet foreign competitors. The Hon. T. Mackenzie emphasised the Dominion's desire to stand behind the Motherland in anything re-
quiring assistance in regard to defence or trade. The New Zealand preferential tariff still kept the greatest part of New Zealand's trade with Great Britain. So long as Australia was unpopulated it would be a weakness to the Empire's armour. She must come to the Motherland for her' surplus population and for money to carry out the development of works.
