TARIFF REFORM
THE POSITION OF INDIA. WARNING FROM* LORD CREWE. By Telegraph.— £?«;« Associntion.—cotiynitnt. LONDON, sth December. The Marquis of Crewe, Secretary of State for India, in a speech at Cheltenham, deprecated the recent remark of Mr. Bonar Law, Leader of the Opposition, that Great Britain was entitled to fair play in Indian markets. He warned the Tariff Reformers against the erection of an Imperial Zollverein, and asking India to take a place which, compared with that of seli-governing dominions controlling their own purses, would appear servile to India. Coupling euch a proposal with a claim on India' 6 gratitude for past services would be, a political indiscretion of the greatest magnitude. Speaking at Alexandra Palace, Lord Lansdowne said that the question of referring tariff reform tp a referendum conditional on submitting Home Rule .also was an offer that would not hold good for all time.
