CARTOON - EMPIRE PREFERENCE

Scene of two men in a park. The man on the left is tall and inviting the man next to him to move off the path onto the grass. The second man is holding his hat and looking at the other man as he moves towards the grass. There are two signs on the grass both reading [KEEP OFF / THE GRASS]. Written across the grass is the word Empire Preferences but most of the word is obscured by the taller figure. Written on the path that the figures are standing on is [McKENNA DUTIES] There is a small dog in the bottom left corner barking at the two men

The Adventures
In a recent speech in the British House of Commons the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. P. Snowden) in the McDonald Cabinet supported the repeal of the McKenna duties and attacked Imperial preferential tariffs. In subsequent voting which turned upon the Government's trade intention, the MacDonald Government received solid Liberal backing.
