REACE OVERTURES
ATTITUDE OF NATIONAL
LIBERALS
TARIFF WAR DENOUNCED.
(Received September 28, 11 a.m.)
LONDON, 27th September. The National Liberal Federation overwhelmingly rejected a motion in favour oj the sympathetic consideration of peace overtures, and adopted motions in favour of the League of Nations, demanding the abolition of conscription, after the war, and the establishment without delay of Home Rule in Ireland. Mr. Samuel, in moving a resolution urging the subordination of « all other purposes to the effective prosecution of the war, denounced the future tariff war. He said Germa-ny must be fought until she abandons militarism and is punished for her crimes; but we would not fight in order to establish commercial monopolies, though Germany must await her turn for raw material.
The conference adopted a- resolution in support of Free ■ Trade, setting out that the State should secure the profits of industries the protection of which was necessary to the national security.
