BREACH WITH FREE TRADE
TRADITION.

(RECTEK'S TELEGRAU.)
LONDON, 7th August.
The "Daily Telegraph's" Parliamentary correspondent says that at the outset of the Labour inquiry into the. party's fiscal policy, those who favoured a departure from the rigid Free Trade policy were in a minority, but their views gained increasing support as the investigation preceded. It is understood that the report was unanimous. Should the Labour Conference at Liverpool in September adopt the recommendation, a definite breach will have been mado with tho. Socialist Free Trade traditions.
According to a cable message published yesterday,- a private meeting of the Labour Party adopted a.proposal to boycott and prohibit sweated goods from entering Britain. The committee appointed to investigate fiscal questions also recommended that goods produced by workers who work longer hours than the Washington Convention allows shall be regarded as sweated and so prohibited from entering the countries which have signed the convention.
