London, Nov. 3.-The blue book on the colonial
conference does not add much 10 what is already
known. The resolution adopted the subject OF
preferential trade the most interesting part Of
the report to America. In that resolution the
conference recognizes that preferential trade be-
tween the United Kingdom and the colonies would
stimulate and facilitate commerce and strengthen
the empire; that in the present circumstances Of
the colonies il would not b. practicable 70 adopt
general system of free trade; that with view.
however 10 promoting increase Of trade within
the empire it Is desirable that those colonies which
have not already adopted such a policy should so
far their circumstances permit. give substantial
preferential treatment TO the products and manu-
features OF the United Kingdom. -Four premiers
urge an imperial grant TO colonial products and
manufactures. giving preferential treatment II the
United Kingdom. by exemption from reduction
OF duties. Five premiers present at the confer
undertake to submit to their respective gov
ernments the earliest opportunity request that
such measures be taken may be necessary 10

upon Colonial Secretary Chamberlain that, in con

Canada 10 the products Of Great Britain, Canadian
exports OF food products ought 20 be exempted

Mr. Chamberlain did not agree 10 this proposal:
