PROCEEDING ON TARIFF REFORM LINES.
SIR GEORGE REID SPEAKS. (Press Assn.—Reed. 8.30 p.m.) LONDON, April 5. .Mr Hughes is rapidly progressing. In the Budget debate most of the speakers condemned the railway ticket tax. The debate is mainly on free trade and tariff reform lines. Sir 'George Reid regretted the speech did not contain an assurance of the removal of the double income tax. If the Dominions had not borne the expense of their own troops the bas c of his observations would have been gone. It seemed as hard to get justice out of the Treasury as one's garments out of the teeth of a British bulldog. He hoped when the Empire problems were considered all theorists and fiscal maniacs would be excluded.
