ZEALAND READY FOR PREFERENCES Would Increase Margin of Preference For British | Goods (By CANADIAN PRESS) OTTAWA, July 21.--New Zealand _is prepared to go further with tar- iff preferences, Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, leader of the delegation from that portion of the British Empire informed the Imperial Eco- nomic Conference today. "We will proceed by reducing where possible the rates of duty on British goods, and in certain cases "we will increase the rates on for- eign goods. This will increase the margin of preference for British goods. Moreover," said Mr. Coates, "as an earnest of our desire to fa- cilitate commerce generally, Wwe will reduce also the general or non- preferential rates on many other imports upon which we are pre- pared to reduce the corresponding British rates." Mr. Coates said that it was the earnest desire of New Zealand that the United Kingdom would be able to increase the preferences already granted on empire products, and to consider the feasibility of extend- ing them to products not now in- cluded. New Zealand was partic- ularly interested in meat and meat by-products. Members and Friends Enjoy Out- ing; Mrs. Ferguson Honored by Associates; Softball Feature Members of the choir of Knox Presbyterian Church and_ their friends to the number of about forty-five enjoyed a picnic*in Bay- field on Wednesday. The after- noon was spent revelling in the pleasures afforded by the popular resort. A pleasing little event took place during the supper hour when Mrs. Hugh Ferguson was presented with a gift in recognition of her perfect attendance at all church services for nine consecutive months. The president, R. L. Don- aldson, performed the honors. Much interest was taken in the softball game staged in Jowett's grove, the married men captained by Forrest Campbell, defeating the single men's team with Donald Jackson as captain. Later the picnickers gathered about a beach-fire and joined in a jolly sing-song. Joe Wright Is Beaten In Henley Sculling Event ST. CATHARINES, Ont., July 21 (CP)--In a smashing upset, W.
