(Received 9.4 a_.) LONDON, June 7. Sir Edward Grey's idea with regard to the sugar bounties is to enlarge the sources of supply. He declared that he did not desire to sec a revival of the system of bounties. Commenting on the action of the Government the "Times" argues in favour of the Convention, under which it states the colonial sugar industry had revived, adding: ' ; But now that the Government had crushed out the cane industry, and given Germany and Austria a monopoly, with power to raise prices, after running counter to the wishes of the self-govern-ing colonies in the Colonial Conference— that Government is offering up the West Indies on the same altar of fiscal prudery.
