§ MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)To ask the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that British goods have been admitted into Canada since 1897 with a rebate of 25 per cent., which was increased in 1901 to 33⅓ per cent., he can state the total value of United States, German, and Belgian goods respectively imported into the North American Colonies in 1897, 1898, 1899, 1900, 1901, 1902, and 1903.
§ Republic, calculated on the same principle as those given for certain other countries; in Memorandum No. XVI. of CI. 1761 of 1903, would be about 18 and 16 per cent. respectively. These countries would consequently follow Germany in the list given on page 171 of the Blue-book, the percentage for the Argentine being about the same as for Canada.
