ST.CROIX S 'ATION.
Kingston,
Jamaica,
Mav
26th.—The
following
resolution
was
unanimously
adopted
at
a
joint meeting
of the
mem-
bers of the Jamaica
lmoorial
Association
and th2 Jamaica
Chamber
of
Conmerce
and
Merchants
Exchange
yesterday.
““That
this
meeting
while
recognizing
the-desire
of
the Canadian
Government
to modify its
actions
in
conaection
with
the repeal of the dumping
clause
by
re-
instating
same
to
the
extent
of
three
quacter
cent per pound,
desires
to
point
out
that
any
alteration
in
the
dumping
clause
is
apparently
inconsistent
with
the terms
of the
West
Indies trade agre_-
ment
1921.
It
urges
that
tnere
should
be
a reconsideration
of thne Duten
stand-
ard test
so
that
the
duty
on
all
sugars
{rom the British
West
Indies and
British
(iuiana
should
be
assessed
not
on
a col-
oar
test
buc
on
a
polariscopie
test,
thus
allowing
British
sugars
fit for direct
con-
sumption
to
enter
the
Canadian
market
and enjoy preference
without
special
re-
strictions.
It emphasizes
the
ract
that
the maintenance
of
the
Dutch
Standard
colour test
in connection
with
all sugars
other than
those
entitled
to
preference
under the
West
Indies
trade
azreement
1921,
wili afford
protection
to
refiners
without
intertering
with
the growth of
trade relations between
the
British
colo-
nies referred
to and the dominion of Can-
ada.
