TARIFF REFORM.
I OABM— PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, March 16. The Pall Mall Gazette says that tariff reformers have" accepted the January compromise in the belief tluit it is justified by a concentration of energy on behalf of a limited programme, but the free fooders have used an inch of press for an ell of position. At the Tariff League dinner, Mr Chaplin said that it was useless and idle to pretend that there was peace when there was no peace. There was not the complete unity which the party had a right to expect. The farmers d's a^ body resented the change of the Unionist programme. Mr Austen Chamberlain said that the limits of compromise had been reached by the acceptance of the Edinburgh programme. After tariff reform had been carried it was intended to proceed as early as possible to Imperial preference.
