AN OPTIMIST
CANADIAN LUMBER MAN SEEKS PREFERENCE TRADE WITH NEW ZEALAND Reed. 12.20 p.m. VANCOUVER, Thurs. After returning on the Aorangi from Australia, the members of the British Columbia lumber delegation have announced they will immediately proceed to Ottawa to urge that the Australian Treaty be not abrogated. They will urge that the agreement be enlarged and preference given" to Canadian lumber. Major Andrews said the delegation was given a splendid reception in Australia, and New Zealand. So keen, he stated, are the Australian business men for trade within the Empire, that he believed they would be willing to grant preference to Canada equal to that given the Old Country. He asserted that both Australia and New Zealand were keen on organising the British Dominions on the Pacific with a view to trade within the Empire. All regard the unfavourable trade balance with the’ United States as unsatisfactory.
It would be the height of folly to destroy the Australian Treaty.
