MR ALEXANDER’S OPINION.
TARIFF-MONGERS DENOUNCED. LONDON, October 10. The tariff-mongers were shamefully ex ploiting the Imperial Conference, said Mr A. V. Alexander, a member of the Cabinet, in the course of a speech at Sheffield. “ I wonder what would be said, he stated, “if the anti-Protection ists began a public agitation demanding that the dominions should repeal their tariffs. They would be instantly and rightfully denounced as interfering with the dominion status. Mr Baldwin, ini able to restrain himself, rushed in to take up Mr Bennett’s proposals. It is scandalous if the Conservatives see in the conference only an opportunity to clear up the party’s squabbles and discredit the people conducting the negotiation* to gain a miserable party advantage.”
