Canada Seeks Wider Market
MAKES TRADE
PR0P0SALT0
ALL KINGDOM
Offer of Preference in
Exchange For Prefer
ence Made by Premier.
TRADE WITH U. S.
MAY BE REDUCED
t)efinite Movement Under
Way to, . Knit British
Dominions Into Co-
, . operative Structure.
OTTAWA, July 21 W) A definite
offer proposing wider preferences for
British goods in exchange for greater
British preferences to Canadian Im
ports was made today by Premier R.
B. -Bennett, of Canada, Immediately
alter he was chosen chairman of the
imperial economic conference.
Any such program of preferences
would have considerable effect on the
trade of the United States.
The premier declared such a system
of preference exchanges should be
enduring. Representatives of the do
minions, he sold, must decide now
what course they Intend to take ana
follow It without deviation. Hla pro
posal waa directed to the United
Kingdom but the offer was extended
b.'so to all other parts of the empire
wherever Its application would be
mutually advantageous.
May Lower Harriers
"There are two ways of obtaining
Increased preference," he said, "either
by lowering trade barriers among
ourselves or by raising them against
others, me cnoice is governea largely
by local considerations, but subject
to that, it seems to us that we should
follow the first rather than the sec
ond course.
"However great our resources, we
cannot Isolate ourselves from the rest
of- the world."
The premier declared that "when
we marshal the strength of the em
pi re, which Is the sum total of its
co-operating parts, we are invincible."
Co-operation Necessary
He pointed out that it was neces
sary for each unit of the empire to
do- Jts-.utmoet.; in the spirit of self
help. ; " '.' ' ';
"In that belief," he continued,
"Canada In the last two' years has
done as bcrt she might to Increase
her power 'forvaeU service, and for
empire service. ' '
"Only the other dny this govern
ment concluded a-troaty with our
friends and neighbors, the tjnited
Btatea of America, , by which the St.
Lawrence waterway and the Great
Lakes will be made Into a great sea
way through which the commerce of
the empire win De carried to me
heart of this continent, and through
which the products of this country
will go out to all parts of the empire.
"This waterway will be free to ail
