TESTING THE PLEDGE
(Received 3rd November, 2.30 p.m.)
LONDON, 2nd November. Following Board of Trade inquiries, the Government intends to propose the inclusion of more trades under the Safeguarding of Industries Act, including the manufacture of hats, brushes, lace, silk, and rubber tires, the object being to test the feelings of Parliament as to whether this is a breach of Mr. Bonar Law's pledge. i
The Imperial preference proposals being worked out will be submitted to the Dominion Premiers. They will not be dealt with by this. Parliament, but will form the issue at the election. In Conservative quarters it is stated that the proposals will include a tariff on raw materials as well as manufactures, but will avoid taxes on imported foods.
