The Chambers of Commerce Con-
gress at London.
RETALIATION ON THIS COUNTRY
Numerous Resolutions Introduced Tending
to That End by Canadian Boards
Of Trade.

LONDON, June 29.-Among the important
resolutions to be discussed by the chamber
Of commerce congress is the following:
The Winnipeg (Manito5a) board Of trade
will move THAT it is The opinion Of this
congress that the time has come or is close
at hand, when the people Of Great Britain
can with confidence lcok to the colonies
and dependencies OF the empire for that
portion of their breadstuffs which they find
necessary to import from year to year.
The
RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF THE GRAIN PRO-
DUcTIoN
of Canada, India and Australasia during
the past ten years clearly indicates that
these countries will soon have annually al
export surplus or grain in excess Of the
annual import demand OF the British and
it viii be altogether unnecessary for the
latter to look for supplies to fereign coun-
tries, especially those whose tariff
laws are so framed as to strike
specially at the trade interests Of
Great Britain and the British colonies;
that this congress sees it as the best
method OF securing this end by a system in
the mother country Of tariff discrimination
against grain and other food products OF
port Of such goods from the colonies and
dependencies; and simil4r discrimination
by the colonies ana dependencies in con-
nectiOn with the tariff on other goods re-
quired to be imported by them; that this
congress favors such movement, and be-
lieves its enforcement would serve as 3
check upon the national seltishness which
at the present time seems 10 inspire many
nations in the framing of their tariff laws.
and that its enforcement would prove a
counter irritant which would in very few
J ears practically force the great nations Of
the world into a much freer system OF
trade intercourse than now exists between
them.

The delegate Of the Regina board OF trade
will offer the following: Resolved. that
ths board of trade or Regina On. w. T. D,
! Canada, would heartily favor the extern
sion Of commerce. and trade upon a prefer
entail basis throughout ali the parts Of the
/ British empire aud that it would be of the
! highest collective and Individual advant-
/ age. Further, that the provisions of any
foreign treaty imposing limitations between
Canada and other parts OF the British en-
piI5 should be at once aOrCgated. Ia ad-
vOcaring the above we wish it understood
that while we desire free trade witN the
British empire we have no desire TO inter
I fere either now or at any time with the
fiscal or political liberty at present enjoyed
by the Safeguarding colonies. and we be-
lieve, if such . scheme could be carried out
/ in the near future, it would be a just re-
t4listion on the United S .ates for the re-
cent Legislation affecting The trade rela-
lions Of Great Britain and Canada with the
United States.
A DIFFERENTIAL DUTY.
At today's session a motion by Sir
Charles Upper, the Canadian high COM
missioner, declaring a small different ial
duty should be adopted by Great Britain
and the colonies against foreign imports,
was defeated, 20 to "a. Sir Charles chal-
Ienged the vote. Another ballot will 0e
taken tomorrow.
