LEVY AND TARIFFS
MR BALDWIN'S MEANING LONDON. March 20. The "Sun-Herald" News Service is informed authoritatively that Mr Stanley Baldwin, in his speech on March 25, had the meat discussions in mind and really meant "levy" when he referred to "tariffs.'' More was read into the speech than Mr Baldwin mfeant. "British meat policy continues to be in favour of a levy, which is closely allied to, but is not identified with a tariff." it is stated. "What Mr Baldwin had in mind regarding meat was a levy, with preference for the Dominions, instead of a quota, a levy and a tariff being both duties, although the proceeds of the former are used to subsidise the home industry. Mr Baldwin intended to convey that a levy system might advantageously be extended to imports such as bacon, which are now regulated by a quota."
