PREFERENCE BY BRITAIN

IS WELBUMEB

(Canadian Press)

O'I'1'AWA, Ont., Feb. i-The I0 per cent. tariff to be imposed on im- portations into Great Britain under conditions which concede preference to that extent on all imports from countries within the British Empire will be of material assistance to Canada. is the opinion expressed in government circles tonight. While comment was restrained until the full significance of the tariff change is comprehended, nevertheless the value of such a change in the light of the forthcoming Imperial Con- ference was appreciated. i

"If a ten per cent duty is levied , by Great Britain on the wide range of articles indicated, with the D0- minions exempt," declared Hon. H. , H. Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce, “it should be of great- assistance to Canada. It will form I an excellent basis for the consul-l

- tations at the approaching Imperial l | into Great Britain except raw mn-

Eeonomic Conference." ..A study of the latest report of

i imports into Great Britain for the "' .eleven months ended Nov. 30 last‘ ‘ reveal that the proposed preference i

which would be extended to Can-f ads. among the other countries of , the British Empire, represents a» market valued at approximately! $650.i‘--?0_000, in‘: goods which this_ country exports. Of this total Can- _ ada's share in the British trade had

’ a value for the eleven months of the ‘ ‘ last calendar year of about $50,000,- '

000 in round figures,

In the past Great Britain has, bought a considerable proportion of ' the $650,000,000 worth of goods, on which it is Proposed to levy a duty, from foreign countries and Canada might reasonably hope to obtain a share of this trade. In some lines. however, other portions of the Em- plrc at present supply the mother country and of course these would 611101’ the same preference as Can- ada under the new schedule.

(Special to the Guardian)

TORONTO, Ont., Feb. 5—Defin- itely increased opportunities in the British market as a result of the preferential tariff granted to the Empire by the British government. are foreseen by Canadian manu- facturers, flour millers and farm- ers. So great may be the advant- l age to flour millsrs that D. BA‘ Hanna. President of the Western Canada Flour Mills, found it "dif- ficult to conceive” that such a pre- ferencc would apply to‘ Canadian flour shipped to the British mar- ket. But he said that if it did ap- ply, the Canadian millers would reap a very real benefit.

Representative manufacturers agreed that Canada should certain- ly get a proportion of new trade. while Joseph A. Caulcr. President of the Dairy Corporation of Can- ada, declared that the preference would place Canada. in a very fa~ vorablc position to secure a much larger share of the British butter market.

F. D. Tolchnrd, manager of the Toronto Board of Trude, while he thought the situation required con- siderable analysis, pointed out that the board had always been in fa.- or of Empire’ preferences. “I think it will be very acceptable to Con ndian exporters which means it wi!‘ react favorably on the Canadian people," he said.

entail Tariff Levy Expected in U.

(Canadian Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4.- United States Commerce Depart- ment officials today said the plan oi the British Government to levy n ten per cent duty on most imports

icrial had been expected.

The United States exported to Great Britain during 1031, u total of $455,560,614. If the final tabula- tion of products, which has not been completed, corresponds to that of the previous year approximately 50 per cent of‘ the total would be raw iuatzririis and similar items. Manu- factures exported usually total about half of United States shipments to Great Britain. '

During 1930, the United States ex- ported $670,101,805 worth of goods to Great Britain. Of this amount $23,000,000 was wheat. $8,500,000 was wheat flour. $5,700,000 barley. $58,000,000 meats of various kinds. and $92,000,000 cotton.

Of the remaining exports HD1370!- imatcly $226,000,000 based on the 1030 figures are now dutiable. This would leave approximately $250.- 000.000 worth of exports still sub- l ieot to future duties.

was holding impressive services over the channel grave of the sub- marine M-2 today, divers 100 feet below the surface found the sub-

mersible's outer seaplane hangar‘

door and upper hatch open.

While the discovery did not com- irletely clear up the mystery of the M-2's fatal plunge with the loss of 62 lives on Jan. 26, naval ex- perts believed it may throw a strong: light oivcnuses of the dis- aster.

The fact that the door and hatch were open it was believed, may well have meant that the sub- marine was flooded sufficiently for water to reach lier chloride batter-

been given off which would have suffocated the crew within a few moments time. Meanwhile efforts to raise the hapless craft proceed- ed.

M-2 made her last dive. Relatives of the missing crew and represent- atives of every branch of the Royal Navy participated.
