§ 88. Sir C. HENRYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the terms of Peace are agreed upon, whether those ex-German Colonies, of which either this country or the Dominions of the British Empire hold the mandates will be included as Colonies and obtain the advantage of the proposals as regards Imperial Preference?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINNone of the territories alluded to will be Colonies. But in certain cases, such for example as South West Africa and certain islands in the Pacific, they will be administered as integral portions of the mandatory's territory, and will consequently share in its advantages.
