SOUTH AFRICAN PREFERENCE
A PROPOSED NAVAL SUBSTITUTION. BRITISH PRESS COMMENT. By Cable—Press Association—Copyrigftt. Received 15, 9.55 p.m. London, February 15. Several South African politicians fayor the Union contributing to the Imperial Navy an amount equivalent to a certain percentage on goods imported to South Africa in lieu of preference. Despite the official declaration, the newspapers generally believe the proposal to substitute a defence contribution for preference will be discussed at the Imperial Conference. The Westminster Gazette states that if Britain's Treasury got an equivalent sum, the Empire, instead of special manufacturers, would benefit. The Times' Capetown correspondent declares it is true that the substitution will be discussed, and that it is deemed expedient to omit preierence from the agenda. There is a growing feeling among the leaders on both sides'that unless there are reciprocal concessions preference is unlikely to be permanent.
