IMPERIAL PREFERENCE,

Capetown, June 23."

In the House of Assembly, Premier Smuts, initiating discussion on the agenda of the Imperied Economic Conference and referring to Imperial preference, said that Australia and New Zealand were going to press very strongly for a very much stronger measure of preference by Britain to the products, of the Dominions. South Africa, was not going to press the British Government to change its fiscal policy, which must be settled by the people of Britain; put South Africa was going to point out the large advantages which would accrue to the Empire if British preference was extended, so as to cover articles not of prime necessity.
