And whereas by subsection (2) of the same section it is provided that, subject to the terms of the said agreement, the Minister may, by notice published in the Gazette, at any time apply the duties set forth in Column No. 1 of Part II of the Schedule to the said first-mentioned Act and in the said Column No. 1 termed British Preferential Tariff to any goods specified or referred to in such notice, and being the produce or manufacture of the Commonwealth of Australia :

And whereas by clause 2 of the said agreement (as modified by a certain further agreement, effect to which was given pursuant to section 10 of the Customs Amendment Act, 1921, by Order in Council of date the 19th day of May, 1926, published in the Gazette in the 20th day of the same month, at page 1329), it is provided, inter alia, that the Dominion shall not impose any Customs duty or increase the rate of any Customs duty on any article the produce or manufacture of the Commonwealth entering the Dominion from the Commonwealth, except by mutual agreement, until after six calendar months’ notice to the other party to that agreement :
