CANADIANS-BRITISH
REACH AGREEMENT
AT TRADE MEETING
Reel procaI Favors and Prefer.
ences Said to Be Contain.
cd in Secret Pact

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. l5.-(R)cCan.
ada and Great Britain were reported
Monday to have solved most of their
important differences and virtually
to have reached en- accord on trade
agreement which would include pref.
erence in Britain for Canadian farm
products and reciprocal favors by
Canada for British iron. steel and
coal
The negotiations were shrouded Ii,
secrecy. The finishing touches to the
agreement were to be applied at a
meeting between Premier Bennet;
and Stanley Baldwin MONDAY.
Delegates estimated, however, that
with all the agreements completed,
the diversion Of trade from the Unit
ed States was not likely to reach more
than one-third Of the $500. 900 900 ad-
ditional business Great Britain might
expect from the dominions.
Under the proposed agreements with
Canada and the other dominions.
Great Britain recognizes empire pref.
erence as definite part Of her fiscal
policy. Foodstuffs now on the free
list will be brought within the pref
erential field.
Subject to later changes, the tenta-
tive basis Of the accord was under
stood to include the following:
A duty Of four cents a bushel on
foreign wheat with q preference Of
az cents In favor Of empire wheat.
A duty Of one and one-half cents
pound on foreign lamb, mutton, pork
and bacon.
-Four cents pound on foreign but
ter a. against the present duty. ap-
prcximately two cents q pound.
Additional restrictions by special
order on products such as wheat and
lumber whenever the necessity arises
This was the British answer for the
demand that Britain cut down or
place an embargo on It's trade with
Russia.
On the Canadian side, the chief
concessions are likely to be on coal,
iron and steel. The United Kingdom
would like reductions In the rates now
imposed by Canada on British tex
tiles. While this seemed likely on
certain high-grade lines, It was
doubted the British request could be
fully met on textiles generally.
