PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.
Received March 8, 9.38 p.m. LONDON, March 8
The Associated Chamber of Commerce have urged the Government to so conduct negotiations at the Colonial Conference that reciprocal trading may be promoted within the Empire. The mover of the resolution, Mr Reade, of the Belfast Chamber of Commerce, maintained that the colonies wished preference, and if they were refused it Canada particularly would seek it elsewhere, thus leading to the disintegration of the Empire. There were a dozen dissentients to this view. The meeting also, by 40 votes to 38, adopted a resolution urging the Government to make the metric system compulsory.
