INDIAN SUGAR DUTIES.
DEBATE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, June 16.
In the House of Commons, a motion by Sir Henry Fowler in favour of disallowing Indian countervailing duties on bounty-fed imported sugar, was rejected by 293 to 152. Lord G. Hamilton, Secretary of State for India, said that it would be impossible to refuse India the means of defence in certain circumstances. Great Britain would herself adopt the same means. Mr Chamberlain said that countervailing bounties by the imposition of duties was not a violation of iTeetrade, as the countervailing duties were a matter of. expediency. He protested against subordinating the interests of the colonies to the interests of British consumers and producers.
