1468 IMPERIAL UNITY [PART VIII Mother Country or sister Colonies, they would require to receive careful consideration before they could be approved. Her Majesty's Government, however, had decided to meet, the views of the Australian Colonies and repeal the existing prohibitions with regard to differential duties, but any Bill which might be passed under the power so conferred would require to be reserved for the signification of the royal pleasure. Any Act, however, giving such preference should not give a discretion to an Executive Government as to the application of the preference, but should contain in itself the terms which it was proposed to grant. On the other hand, the Imperial Government were not yet prepared todenounce the treaties with Belgium and Germany; these treaties did not prohibit the Imperial Government from granting preferential treatment to the Colonies nor inter- colonial preference ; they only prevented a preference being granted by the Colonies to the Imperial Government, and the Imperial Government did not think the advantage of the preference would outweigh the loss to the trade of the two countries, worth then £41,000,000, for though a new treaty might be negotiated it would be difficult to secure satisfac- tory terms. The second dispatch dealt with the question of commercial negotiations with foreign Powers, and laid down the principles that all such negotiations must be conducted through Her Majesty’s representative ; that any agreement must receive before signature the consent of Her Majesty's Government, and that every concession granted to a foreign Power must be automatically extended to the United Kingdom and to all other British possessions, and that no concession should be made to or asked from a foreign Power which would injuriouslv affect British interests. § 3.
