THE GOVERNMENT AND THE SUGAR CONVENTION.
In the House of Lords Lord Denbigh stated that the Government's denunciation of tho penal clause in the Brussels Sugar Convention had caused tho abandonment of a movement to establish a sugar beet factory at Seaford, which would have employed 120 men. Lord Lansdowne said the sugar-pro-ducing colonies regarded tho Government's action with the profoundest dismay. If British markets were reopened to bounty-fed sugar the keystone of the Convention would be withdrawn. Lord Fitzmaurice, on behalf of the Government, declared that tho abolition of the Convention system and the free introduction of sugar would provide more employment than any artificial arrangement.
