Right Hon. ARTHUR MEIGHEN (Leader of the Opposition):

Press notices of government announcements have given the House to understand that a treaty has been made with Australia, and also that this treaty has been ratified by the Australian parliament. May I ask if there is any reason why it has not been presented to this House for ratification, and if so what the reason is, and when we may expect it?

Mr. ROBB:

After the government of

Australia had passed their legislation they passed an order in council changing the percentage that should apply to goods that would come under their tariff. I think my hon. friend understands that under our tariff, if twenty-five per cent of the goods are manufactured within the British Empire they are admitted. That was changed by Australia to seventy-five per cent. So, we are negotiating with them to have this more clearly defined.

Mr. MEIGHEN:

Is there any reason why the Acting Minister of Finance should not lay on the table, and perhaps distribute, the treaty as already accepted? It may be subject to these negotiations, but the treaty has now a definite form. I see no reason why we should not have it.
