Empire goods again being excepted, by the preference goods must be shown to have been consigned from and grown, produced or manufac- tured in a part of the British Em- pire. For manufactured articles to be entitled to preference the gen- cral rate is that net less than 25 per cent of their value must be derived from materials grown or produced, or from work done, with in a part of the British Empire,
There are certain exceptional cases where a different percentage is ad- mitted, and the Federation of Chambers of Commerce of the Bri- tish Empire at its Thirteenth Con- gress in 1933 urged the adoption of a minimum ratio of 50 per cent. and a greater approach to uni- bormity. So far this proposal has not been approved?"

It must be remembered, however, that Hong Kong is à Crown Colony, and. as such purchases through its Crown Agents, large quantities of goods and materials from the United Kingdom, which is a form of preference.
