THE FISCAL QUESTION
LORD CURZON’S VIEWS TARIFF REFORM CERTAIN TO COME. AIR BALFOUR’S PLATFORM. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright (Received April 10, 10.51 p.m.) LONDON, April 10. Lord Ourrzon presided nt a. mass meeting of Unionists held at Basingstoke yesterday. Ho remarked that it was a decade since bo addressed any political gathering in England. Dealing with the question of tariff reform, Lord Curzou said Mr Balfour s fiscal platform was ono on which all sections of the Unionist party could well unite, and on which ultimate reunion was not only possible, hut certain. Ho did not envy either the common-sense or political foresight of the man who declared no change in fiscal policy was required or likely to occur. A change of some sort was necessary and inevitable. Possibly it would not take precisely the shape the authors of the movement anticipated; perhaps it would not fulfil all the ambitious desires of its warmest partisans. Ho disclaimed sufficient knowledge to enable him to dogmatise.
