Wlti, reference to your letter of the 15th March,
(P.Z.1361/32) regarding the tariff provlsl ons of the
Coimaerelal Treaty of 1891 between the Unitecl IClngaom aid
Maacat, 1 sm directed by the Board of Trade to state that,
any proposal which would give a preference to goods carried
In French or Amerlcm vessels over goods carried In British
vessels Is open to the greatest objection and one to which
the Board could not In any circumstances agree. It is, and
| has been the policy of His Majesty' s Govermaent to secure
the removal of flag discrimination wherever it occurs.
It may be of Interest to the Secretary of State to
know that the effect of the rebate In the Customs Import and
export duties In Portugal on goods Imported in Portuguese
vessels, which have been In force since 1921, has been to
i transfer the bulk of the trade to Portuguese vessels. The
I most serious representations have been made by the snipping
interests of the United Kingdom against this policy, and His
I Majesty's Government have under consideration retaliatory
action against Portugal if the discrimination is not removed
within a measurable period of time. It wuld be wholly
| inconsistent with their policy to endorse any proposal such
as that uade in your letter under reply,
