MR BONAR LAW ON THE CRISIS

(Reed. 10.30 p.m.)

LONDON. Nov. 22

Mr Bonar Law, at north west Manchester, advocated the reform of the Lords, thus enabling the constitution to gradually meet the changed conditions of a changed world. Unionists preferred reform 'to revolution. He was not an extreme tariff reformer, but was in earnest, and desired any necessary change as little revolutionary as possible. A LETTER FROM MR AUSTEN .. CHAMBERLAIN. Mr Austen Chamberlain, in a letter to Mr Bernard. candidate for North Bucks, states that the Maximum duty on wheat. pror>osed by tariff reformers , is six pence per cwt. or two shilling per auarter on forejg-n oJ?ly. • Admit h<raie grown, and cotatiial free. Figures named not to be exceeded. It is desirable to encourage the importation of whole ffrain. instead ;of flour to enable the milling to be done here, and give farmers the offals as a feed for stock. The duty on flour should be proportionally somewhat higher than wheat.
