WHAT DID IT MEAN?
PREMIER’S TARIFF SPE-EOH. MINISTERS DISAGREE. Ant ralian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received October 29, 9.25 p.m.) LONDON. October 29. Air J. H. Thomas, AI.P., says that already two Aiinisters are contradicting themselves as to what Air Baldwin’s speech meant. “Mr Joynson-Hicks said it would be criminal to tax food, while Air Neville (Tiamberlain said that at last the country was going to adopt his father’s policy. There are two definitions, almost before tho Prime Minister's speech is dry, though.” added Air Thomas sarcastically, “it is a consolation to th© unemployed workers to be told that the Government can give a general election next year. The Labour Party, however, will accept the challenge. If tho threatened election is going to stimulate industry and help trade, why not apply the remedy immediately?”
