FRUIT
GROWERS
ARE
ALARMED
Loss
of
British
Preference
May
Be
Damaging
to
Industry,
'Tis
Feared
KELOWN.A
Oi
Fruit
growers
registered
initial
alarm
over
reports
that
the
Dominion's
new
trade
agreements
involved
a
loss
of
preference
in
the
Bri
tish
market.
A.
K.
Lloyd,
president
and
general
manager
of
British
Columbia
Tree
Fruits
Ltd.,
said
"With
the
elimination
ot
the
British
preferential
market,
it
simply
means
that
the
fruit
in
dustry
will
revert
to
the
days
around
1935
when
there
was
cutthroat
competition."
Growers
and
dealers
said
they
feared
the
effect
would
be
to
place
Canadian
apples
on
a
par
in
both
domestic
and
foreign
markets
with
United
States
grown
fruit.
They
said,
however,
that
the
loss
of
the
British
market
might
be
compensated
for
to
some
extent
by
the
acquisition
of
new
markets
in
Eu
ropean
countries
which
have
lowered
their
tariffs
on
Can
adian
fruit.
