VISCOUNT SNOWDEN’S VIEWS. Viscount Snowden, attacking the Government’s protectionist policy at a Cobden Club luncheon, referred to the “shameful betrayal of Free Trade,” and attributed international depression mainly to increasing tariffs. He added: “We have taxed our people in order to give preference to the Dominions, which responded by increasing their practically prohibitive tariffs against British _ imports.

This was recently illustrated in connection with the Australian cotton duties, which raised a storm in Lancashire.
