Sir James MeKay, of the India of- fice, said the interests of India did not call for any change in her fiscal sys tem. India was not menaced by the restrictive tarifis of foreign countries who sold her £18,000,000 and bought £66,000,000. Under a reciprocal pre- ference India had more to give than to receive. India's heritage was the whole empire, and any. preference grant- ed to the United Kingdom, by the self-governing colonies, should also be granted to India. Premier Botha said he had no man- date. He expressed the opinion that the 1902 resolution should stand., He did not think any good would reat from pressing on the mother country any advance on that. The respective governments should be free to manazre their own affairs. Premier Bond joined Sir Wilfrid Lau: rier in supporting the resolution of 1902, His government desired to co- operate in all possible ways towards a policy of a preference between' the United Kingdom and the colonies.
