LONDON, October 26.
Mr Brodrick, speaking at Gu3dford, said that Britain was negotiating with tied hands, foreigners being able to disregard suggestions on behalf of herself or the colonies. He favored imposing whatever duty was necessary upon imports from any particular country treating Britain unfairly. The colonies would benefit thereby. He urged caution regarding Mr Chamberlain's proposals, lest the workers and people of small incomes should interpret it as increasing their burdens. It was requisite, also, to know what the colonies would give in return, and whether the Preference offered them would be effective from a colonial standpoint.
