WAR BY TARIFFS
(PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
DEPRECATED BY SIR WILLIAM
LEVEE.,
LONDON, 30th March.
Sir William Lever, speaking at the, annual meeting of shareholders of Lever > Brothers, Ltd., deprecated the efforts that were being made to secure British trade protection after the war by tariffs against Austria and Germauy. He said the strength! of Britain was due to open trade and the freedom of the seas. Wheu the war was over all bitterness must cease. The creation of tariffs against Germany was a cowardly cry, worthy of a backward race. The policy of anti-German restrictions would only stimulate a false Imperialism founded upon injustice and disregard -of the rights of others.
