Lord Jensey, interviewd, said he personally thought it was unliWy that there would be a reversal of the general principles of Free Trade, though it was not improvable that there might be some modification. It was net at all improbable that reviews of our commercial treaties with other countries would be undertaken. He thought, however, that the feeling was growing in England that it might give some attention to the proposals .of preferential trad© wi'tlh the Colonies, even if they involved some modification of the stern rule of Free Trade. He regarded as unlikely that there would be <an Imperial Conference before the next General Election. He .thought lit would be quite a 'mistake for anyone of the parties to the Conference to come to it with a fixed policy. The prudent would say let the' Conference meet and the drift of different opinions be gathered. !
