COTTON INDUSTRY
3.15 P.M. EDITION
EFFECT OF INDIAN TARIFF. (United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (British Official Wireless.) Received March 8, 11.5 a.m. RUGBY, March 7. The President of the Board of Trade, Mr W. Graham, was asked in the House of Commons, to-day, whether, having regard to the serious effect the proposed increase in the Indian cotton tariff would have on the Lancashire cotton industry, he would consider the desirableness of making representations to the Indian Government that tho proposals shall not be proceeded with. Mr Graham explained that, as would have been seen from Sir George Shuster’s speech in the Indian Legislative Assembly, the British Government had already done everything possible in the wav of representations. Mr Graham added: “Though I fully realise the grave effect which this increase of duties may have on the trade of Lancashire, I appreciate also the proposal of the Indian Government to ask the Legislative Assembly to assent to preferential treatment for this country.”
