THE SUGAR BOUNTIES.
[Electric Telegraph. — Copyright.] [Press Association.] LONDON, June 7. Sir Edward Grey's idea as regards the sugar bounties is to enlarge the sources of supply. He declared he did not desire to see a revival of the system of bounties. Commenting on the action of the Government, The Times argues in favor of a convention under which the colonial sugar industry could be revived, adding: — "But now the Go- I vernment had crushed out the industry and given Germany and Austria a monopoly, with power to raise prices. After running counter to tlie wishes of the self-governing colonies in the Colonial Conference, the Government is offering up the West Indies on the same altar of fiscal prudery."
