TRADE FEDERATION.
London, November 10. The National Conservative Union of Rochdale, on the motion of Mr Lowles, M.l\, passed a resolution rejoicing that Australia was in favour of the Commercial Federation of the Empire. Mr Neild, of Sydney, said the proposals to that end must emanate from England. lie complained that trustees were still debarred from investing in Australian securities, and that pure colonial wine was taxed heavier than foreign concoctions.
The Union has asked the Government to include the linnl settlement of Rhodesia in the Government programme, and expressed itself in favour of a preference tariff favouring the products of Great Britain and the colonies, as the beginning of the commercial federation of the Empire.
