'bi cuua—rasas assocuhok—cokmobt.) (BSCTIB'S TELEORAXS.)
CAPE TOWN, April 27.
A bitter debate is proceeding in the Assembly on the Government's Budget. General Smuts doclared: "Wo will not acquiesco in any policy which places tho Empire behind other countries. When our day comes, we will reverse tho Government's policy and see that Britain is troated as she should be." He moved that tho Estimatos bo referred back with an instruction to submit amended tariff proposals, recognising tho principle that Britain should enjoy preference abovo foreigners."
Colonel Cresswell, replying, argued that General Smuts was advocating the policy of the sixteenth century that the Dominions should be run for tho economic profit of Great Britain, a policy which lost her her American colonies.
