Ottawa. Nov, 4. --An edictal state-
ment cleating with the Colonial Cnn-
forencu in Loudon was issued here
yeeterdny. The papers In connection
with the summoning of that confer-
ence+, which were published some
menthe ago, showed that on the
questions' of political relations be-
tween the colonies and the mother
country Canada was well satisfied,
and had no schemes to propose. Tho
despatch of Ilia Can.tdian Govern-
ment pointed out that the commer-
cial question was the one that was
most interesting to Canada, and
they were quite prepared to discuss
The Canadian Government did
not deem it advisable to prepare for-
mal resolutions in ndvento and sub-
mit them to the conference, but the
papers now published in do it clear
that, although no such cut and dried
resolutions were sent In by Canada
in advance of the conferences, this
country too.c an active part in all
the conference proem dings and had
very decided views upon the various
questions which arose. It would ap-
pear front the published papers that
tho commercial question wits put in
ilio foreground by the Canadian Min-
isters, and the documents prove that
the desire of Canada for a system of
mutual preferential trade wies pressed
very strongly upon the Imperial Gov,
eminent.
Tory Rubble Exploded.
The papers serve, it it wore needed,
to prick the bubble u11i.11 Conserva-
tive orators and newspapers have
leen blowing for some years. They
have ,seen contending that the Im-
perial Govetn.aent were quite ready
to grant a preference to Canadian
goods in the British market and
teat the 1'oulinion Uoverntutnt were
stn n.ling in the way. As a matter
c'f fact the Government of Canada,
Arlen grant in; the preference to ,beat
Brit rein, took 1 he ground that the
Ono was not favorable then for de-
ntanding to return prelercnee from the
mother co 'retry, inasmuch as Creat
Britain ha.1 no duties on food pro-
ducts chi 11 could be removed in fav-
or of Canada. but it was.pointcd out
that tha movement for the preference
vo 11d undoubtedly be strengthened
iy 1hs action of Canada and that if
chttn;c :Jlould come about in the
Jlritislt policy as respects the duties
lin rood the Dominion would then be
in a position to urge her claim for
remission, These new conditions
h (ley arisen during the past
year, when the British Government
iniposxl duties on breadsluffs. The
otlicittl papers reveal that not only
at the conference. but at an earlier
when t licca of imposing du-
dato hen he o
PP
bred t ff -o'
ties on a st t s was acl Pteft in
Great Britain, the Conaclir n Govern-
ment presented and urged the claim
of Canada for exemption from those
duties.
L•'von Chamberlain Opposed.
But instead of this cinim meeting
with the ice.dy recognition which Ca-
nadian Conservatives have all along
Said could he so easily obtained, the
British Governnunt have emphatical-
ly decllne•d to grant tha exemption.
Even Mr. Chamberlain, who from his
position in the Colonial Office might
be disposed to bo ino:•o friendly to
colonial proposals than others in the
Imperial Cabinet, was obliged to
state that the home authorities could
not agree to the' requests of tho Ca-
nadian M n stry. Mr. Chamberlain,
however, does not seem to have dos-
ed the door finally against any
srheme of preferential trade, But in
doing so ho declined to treat the ex-
isting profertn`ial of Canada as suffi-
cient value to call for a return from
Creat Britain. Canadinn Conserva-
tives have always represented that
this reference was bon to Great
P n n
Britain which Canada should hot
have granted without compensation,
teed quite recently announ wezncnts
have virtually here made ley Conser-

They panted out that the British

they could not accede. The Cannd-

poses of home defence.

also a vpeelal memorandum on the
effect of 1h, Canadian preferential

"The following is the (.'tu,tditin'

subject of preferential trade: -

Canadian view to Mg. Chamberlain.
These discussions wore naturally of
a verbal and private .character•. Now
that the conference Is drawing to a,
close it is desirable tilat the course
of the negotiations and the conclus-
ions reached should he obtained in
official form to be placed on record.
I' r om the beginning of the pr.o"
ceedings the Canadian ]11inister•s have
claimed that in consido'anion of re
substantial preference given. by Cana-
da for some years to the products of
the mother country, Canadian food
products should be exempted in the
United .Kingdom trom the duties re-
cently imposed. Representations to
this effect previously made through
the IIigh (.outluissioner for Canada
were supplemented by the Ministers
both in wilting and in personal in-
terviotvs with the lnijei•ia1 Atlnis-
ters.
"Air. Chamberlain on behalf of the
Imperial Go eminent was unu•hle to
agree to the proposals of the Cana-
dian Government. Ile represented
that the imperial Government while
highly appreciating the good feeling
ntanifestcd by Canada in tile granting
of preferential treatment, ,lid not
think its maternal advantages to the
trade of the United Kingdom were as
great as the Canadian Ministers
claimed, Ile further said that tho
change desired by Canada would be
an important 'departure from the es-
tablished flscal policy of the King-
dom, and that if the proposals could
be entertained at all, as to which he
was not prepared to commit hirnself,
it would be necessary for Canada to
offer some antiniad tariff ,oncossions
beyond thos'a which she had already
voluntarily given. The Canadian
Ministers, therefore, submitted a
memorandum of the subject of the
advantages received by Great Bri-
tain from the Canadian preferential
tariff, with a view to show Ing that
they were of much value, and entitl-
ed to weight in the consideration of
the whole subject.
Question of Further Coneesslnns.
"lI'h'Ie urgin.; that the benefits of
tho preference wore such as to entitle
( anad:e to the eiosirad exemption
from the deities on food products in
the T?nited Kingdon,, the Canadian
Ministers stated that within certain
limitations they were prepared to
consider the re;,uest of ]lir. Chamber-
lain for further concessions. They
stated, however, that it was neces-
sary to have a clear unle.rstanding
as to the relations of the preferen:•e
to Canadian industries. While hold -
in; that it was not necessary to en-
ter into questions cis to the wisdom
or unwisdom of the fiscal policy un-
der which those industries had grown
up in et:nide, they heel to recognise
the fact that those industries night
be seriously affected by further tariff
ch•ingt's. Large reductions of duties
had already been made, especially in
brit ish imports, and the Ministers
feared that in some lines of import -
nn 0 further reductions would create
such as disturbance of trade as would
not be conducive to the welfare of
the country. Therefore, further con-
cession; to the disadvantage of home
in iustry could not be made. But the
Canadian Ministers pointed out that
the Canadian tariff Was by no means
prohibitive, that largo quantities of
goeds were imported and that a
great proportion of these came from
foreign countries, in any. lines in
which there was reasonable ic I

hahil-
ity that these goods could he manu-

"The Canadian Ministers stated
that if they could be assured that
the Imperial liovel'nnlent would etc-
eept the principle of preferential
trade generally, and particularly
grant to the food products of Cana-
da in the United 1>.ingdonn e::enption
from duties now levied, they, the Ca-
nadian Ministers, would be prepared
to carry on the discussion on the
lines above mentioned and endeavor
to gine to the British manufacturer
an increased adl.attege over Itis for-
eign competitor in the nntrhets of
Canada.
"Bloawhile the Canadian Minis-
ters determined to present to the con-
fee•ence a resolution afifrtning the
principle of preferential trade, and
• the dcsitalility of its adoption by
the colonies generally, thud also ex-
pressing
xpressing the opinion of the Primo
Ministers of the colonies that Ilis
Majesty's Govorltment should recipro-
catel>y granting preferential terns
to the products of the colonies in the
markets of the mother country,
"In taking this course the Minis-
ters desired to have it understood
that they did so with the strong
hope and expectation that the prin-
ciple of preferential trade would bo
more widely accel ted by the colon-
ies, and that the mother country
tvouid at no distant day see the Wis-
(Iotn of adopting tho same principle
by granting exemption in the United
Kingdon to the products of the col-
onies from duties at present levied.
