African Premier Says

She Must Bargain for

Advantages With Foreign Nations

CAPE TOWlN. April 24.-—Bri. tain will not automatically enjoy the most favored nation treatment under the new South African tariff which has abolished the former British preference.

In a ninety-minute speech at- tacking the new budget, Jagger, an exmlnister in the ‘Smuts Gov- ernment, drew from lPremier Hert- zog an explicit answer to an im- portant question left ambiguous in Mr. Havengas’ budget speech. Mr. Jagger asked whether in the event of the Union's negotiations with a foreign nation of an agreement xivinz the nation minimum rates on certain commodities. Britain would also he entitled to such min- imum rates, or whether such for- eign nation would pay lower dut- ies on these commodities than Britain.

General liertzog replied: "Great‘

' Britain can bargain for those rates as well as anybody else."

Sir Thomas Smartt, here inter- jecteil: “She has no tariff to bar- isaln with." _ '

Mr. Jagger continued “Exactly. lf that is the case it is a mons-

trous shame. T will go further and l‘

say it is blifl ingratltude to give foreign nations preference in cer- tain articles over iBritain.

The Prime "Minister sat silent.

It is thus clear that Britain will not automaticalll enjoy most fav- ored natlon treatment, Outside of n limited list of articles on which she is to be given preference, the ilntentlon of the Government is to place her on exactly the some foot- ing as foreign nations. It is Dos- sible for the Union to give a quid pro quo preference to Germany on certain commodities, ‘while Britain would on. those commodities pay the maximum rates.
