MR. MASSEY WILLING.
APPEAL FOR LOWER
INTEREST CHARGES.
(Reuter's Telegrams.)
LONDON', To-day.
At a ltinrheon tendered to him by the j
Empire Producers' Association, the New
Ze&Mnd 1'riir.p Minister I Mr. Masseyi de- i
claved t'nat al! the Dominions were wi'.ling ;
to so a great deal farther in the direction i
of giving preference to Great Britain. A
system of preference would benefit Bri
f^;,, j^ much a* t.hp Dominions, and tvojIu !
be an important, factor in the future of
the Empire.
He urped an improvement in the sea
communications between Britain and the
Dominions. He was not Latisfied with a
State-owned service. British goods must
be carried In British bofctouis. We should
follow the example of France and America
is this respect.
Mr. Maesey suggested t'iat the interest
on loans to the Dominions should be
charged at lower rates of income tax than
loans to foreign countries. j
