§ SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)To ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, seeing that under the existing tariff law of the United States the President has authority to enter into treaties of reciprocity with Canada, Newfoundland, the British West Indies, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, or any British colony or foreign country, he can say whether under it treaties have been negotiated with Newfoundland, British Guiana, British Honduras, and Trinidad, securing the preferential Customs treatment of American products in those colonies.
(Answered by Earl Percy.) No treaty securing preferential treatment for American goods has been negotiated or is in process of negotiation on behalf of any British colony.
