IMPERIAL PREFERENCE.
London, July 7. In the House of Commons Mr. Houston aked why the Bouth African Movernment recently placed in the United „štítés' orders fur 44,000 tons of rais, a thousand ears, 250 trucks and in the United States and Canada seventy large Jomotives instead of in. Great Britain, in view of the necomasty for employment di people here and maintaming Great Britain's export trade.
Lt Col Amery said some of these orders were placed before the armistice when it was impossible for Great
Britain
British offers to supply railway material respecting price and date of delivery of seventy locomotives were so unfavourable that South Africa was obliged to go further afield. He was glad to say forty of them were ordered in Canada
Lt. Cal Amery continued that in view of Mr. Houston's question, which seemed doubtless unintentionally to imply that it was undesirable that the South African Government should purchase material from Canada rather than Great Britain, he recalled that the policy on which the flavors a ments of the Empire agreed was that of preference in Boutracts to the produce and manufactures of the Empire, not merely of the United Kingdom. Contractors of Great Britain could not expect perference from other Empire Governments except as against foreign countries,
Replying to a question Lt. Col. Amery said he under- stood the South African Government actually did their very best to place the orders in Great Britain, negotiated at great length with manufacturers.
