This article discusses the trend of the British trade preference policy. As of 1919, Great Britain grants no preferential trade treatment to any part of the Empire although it receives preferential treatment from all the overseas Dominions except Newfoundland. There is no doubt but that the First World War startled Great Britain into a thorough reconsideration of its traditional free-trade theories. Sentiment, moreover, has exerted a tremendous influence in the form of a feeling that preference may be looked upon as a test of political attitude and that the Dominions and colonies, by their conduct in the war, had earned a larger measure of recognition from the mother country.
