Excerpt from The Economist, Weekly Commercial Times, Bankers’ Gazette and Railway Monitor, Vol. 84: A Political, Literary, and General Newspaper; March 31, 1917 June 30, 1917

For some years past the Governments of the Dominions have extended tariff privileges to goods which are the produce and manufacture of the United Kingdom and of other British possessions. Correspondingly it is urged in many quarters that your Majesty’s Government should grant a tariff prefer ence to goods from the overseas Dominions. It has not, how ever, been adequately-realised that the rates of freight which may be charged on goods to and from the Dominions are, in many cases, a more important factor in the question of the develop ment of inter-imperial trade than tariffs and tariff privileges on the present scale.
