cap. 111] THE CONFERENCE OF 1911 1541 feeling in England on this topic, and pointed out that interchange of coinage would be confusing, and would also deprive each Dominion of its right to the profits on its silver coinage. (1) Shipping Conferences and Rebates The discussion of this topic was very long and important, but not of political consequence, as Mr. Buxton? at once declared that the policy of the South Africa decision to 3xclude from the mail contract lines which gave rebates or were members of a conference, and to penalize those lines in matters of harbour dues, &c., was not one with which His Majesty’s Government claimed the right to interfere. Sir David de Villiers Graaff * made a very elaborate indictment of the South African shipping ring, and Sir J. Ward? sympathized, but differed from the general attack made by Sir David on rebates, as rebates (not deferred rebates) were essential to secure a cheap service of steamers with refrigera- tion accommodation for New Zealand. Mr. Brodeur * com- plained of an insurance ring against Canada, and Mr. Buxton agreed to accept the resolution in the form, * that concerted action be taken by all Governments of the Empire to promote better trade and postal communications between Great Britain and the overseas Dominions, and in particular to discourage shipping conferences or combines for the control of freight rates between the various portions of the Empire, in so far as the operation of such conferences are prejudicial to trade.” Mr. Buxton reminded the Conference that there was much doubt as to the effect of such conferences, and he had found no substantial support even for putting into effect the very moderate recommendations of the Royal Commission on Shipping Conferences. * 0d. 5745, pp. 381-4. ' Ibid., pp. 372-81. * Thid., pp. 388-91. ' Ibid., pp. 384, 385. Mr, Pearce (pp. 386-8) also supported the motion, and instanced what had been done in Australia under the Australian Industries Preservation Act to break up the coastal combine.
