SWALLOWING THE TARIFF REFORM PROGRAMME
(Received February 22, 10.30 a.m.)
LONDON, 21st February.
The Morning Post, commenting on the report, says it should satisfy all reasonable men. The committee's resolutions aim at making the Empire united, self-sufficient, and secure. The paper cannot understand Sir F. E. Smith's attitude, as the Allies cannot object to our following their example The Daily News says that the report is most surprising. No one denies fliat the war is likely to cause substantial changes in commercial and Imperial relations, but we are asked to swallow the whole tariff reform programme. The war, presumably, has not made the Dominions more willing to expose their infant industries to the full blast of British competition.
