BRITAIN'S FISCAL POLICY. ♦ i TWO INTERESTING LETTERS. VIEWS OP THE LATE MR CECIL RHODES. Press Association. Electric Telegraph. . Copyright. London, September 1. E Dr Jameson, as one of the executors of the late Mr Ceoil Rhodes's will, has 1 forwarded to the Times the originals * of two letters dated May, 1891, which i were discovered among Mr Rhodes's papers. The first was addressed t) the late Sir John Mac Donald, then Premier of Canada, asking: " Can we invent some tie with the Motherland that will prevent separation? The curse is that English politicians cannot see the future. They think Britain will always be the world's manufacturing mart, and fail to understand what protection, < coupled with reciprocal relations, means." The second letter invited the co- j operation of Sir Henry Parkes, who at the time was Premier of New South - Wales, in securing from the Mother- i land preferential consideration for colonial products as a means of maintaining Imperial connection.
