HOME POLITICS
SPEECH BY LORD CREWE. (Received December 5, 11 p.m.) LONDON, December 6. Lord Crewe, speaking at Cheltenham, deprecated Mr Bonar Law’s recent remark that Britain was entitled to fair play in Indian markets. He warned tariff reformers against the erection of an Imperial Zollverein and asking India to take a place which, compared with the self-governing colonies controlling their own purse, would appear servile to India. Coupling such a proposal with the claim on Indians’ gratitude for past services was a political indiscretion of the greatest magnitude. Referring to the guillotine, he said it was not an altogether desirable weapon, but it was the only one the Government could use to pass measures wherefor the country had long waited. SPEECH BY LORD LANSDOWNE. (Received December' 5, 11 p.m.) LONDON December 5. Speaking at Alexandra Palace, Lord Lansdowne said that the question of referring tariff reform to a referendum conditional on submitting Home Rule also was an offer that would not hold good for all time.
