HERTZ0G ISSUES. SOLEMN WARNING Says British Preference Is Essential to Overseas Dominions (By Canadian Press Leased 'Wire) Bloemfontein, South Africa, Dec. 4,--Prime Minister James Hert- zog, newly returned from the Im- perial Conference, issued solemn warning last. night that if South Africa failed to gain a wider mar- ket within the Empire for her pro- duets, her economic policy in eon- nection with Empire preferences. would have to he revised, "In almost every agricultural country the great problem of the Government today is how to assist its farmers to obtain the requisite overseas markets," the prime min- ister told the Orange Free State Nationalist party, "To us, and also to Canada, Australia and New Zealand, it is clear that only by a system of tariff preferences would it be possible for our farm- ers to obtain any particular ad- vantage on the English market in comparison with foreign coun- tries. "The seriousness of the matter from our point of view was made perfectly clear to the Imperial Conference. It must be clear to everyone that unless South Africa can find a wider market for her products within the Empire, and in a reasonable space of time, her economic policy as regards com- monwealth preference will have to urdergo considerable revision-- a revision which in the event of abolition of the existing preference for our products on the Enslish markets will in all probability have to be fundamental." Premier Hertzog added it was not only hoped that this would not happen, but that he himself be. lieved the necessity for meeting the wishes of the Dominions would quickly be recognized by the Brit- ish people themselves.
