QUESTION OF PREFERENCE.
BENEFIT TO DOMINIONS. EMPIRE-GROWN TEAS. By Telegraph.—Press Aam.—Copyright. Received June 20, 10,25 p.m, London, June 20. During the committee stage of the Finance Bill, the House of Commons had a sharp and interesting debate on Major M. MacKenzie Wood’s amendment to omit the words “giving Empire-grown teas preference over foreign-grown teas.” The mover argued that Imperial preference was unnecessary, and had not stimulated trade within the Empire. If logically carried out it must involve an all-round system of protection. Colonel C. Wedgwood declared the gift of preference to the Dominions involved taxation on food. Sir Robert Home said the effect on food had been the opposite, and preference had increased trade within the Dominions. Preference was not based on mere sentiment, but on the very material advantage given to this country by the Dominions. The amendment was defeated.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
