Budget ResolutionTM Adopted

EFFECT GIVEN TO PRINCIPLE OF IMPERIAL PREFERENCE

London, To-day.

The House of Commons, by 157 votes to 44, yesterday agreed to the Budget resolution to withdraw soya beans from the free list. Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister, Secretary of State for the Colonies, said that the Exclusion of soya beans from the free list was proposed in order to give effect to the principle of im-] perial preference.

He emphasised that every colony producing palm kernels, ground-nuts or copra asked for this preference owing to the in creased competition of goya benns. He hoped that the pre- ference would stimulate the pro duction of soya beans in the 'ter- ritories concerned.

There was certainly ground] – for hope that it might lend to
