recommended an early preference in all classes of goods by the increase of tariff rates by a flexible ten per cent. against foreign countries. He suggested the appointment of commit- tecs to examine the effect of such a scheme on each country concerned, and to report to a new Empire Economic Conference to be held at Ottawa early next year.
The Rt. Hon. Mr. J. H. Thomas dwelt on the paradox of overproduction. People, he said, were forced to go hungry because there was too much wheat. Many people were forced to go without decent clothing because too much cotton is grownę They had got to tackle the problem by realising that "here is a common pool to which we are all going to contribute some. thing."
Mr. Scullin suggested new preferences, and consultations between British and Australian industrialists with the object of making mutually satisfactory adjustments. The New Zea land 'delegate heartily favoured a new system of Preferences.

In confirmation of the denial of the rumour, the Telegraph this. morning was informed in official circles that not only were the Government ignorant of the grounds on which the rumour was based but that it had no intention of departing from the scheme of taxation proposed in the Budget which was submitted to the Legislative Council last week.
It appears that the rumour, which was circulated on Tuesday in Ice House Street, was to the effect that the Government had. decided to abandon the proposal. to increase the Assessment Tax, and had instead decided to impose taxation whereby certain public utility companies would be affect- ed. How it was proposed to raise. over a million dollars from this source was not, however, explained,
