BRITISH TARIFFS
SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS. THE MEAT QUOTAS. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, July 21. Mr Stanley Baldwin, w'hen addressing a National Government demonstration at Halstead' claimed that wheat had been the most successful of the tariff experiments. It had made wheatgrowing modestly remunerative, had increased the acreage and had supplied a loaf only a fraction dearer than if a tariff had not been introduced. He emphasized the fact regarding beef, that the Government wanted to eliminate as far as possible perpetual alterations in quotas which were causing only friction with the Dominions and those who should be our best trade friends. Britain had been extraordinarily successful in the manner in which the mutton and lamb quota restrictions had been handled, possibly because fewer markets were affected, also because those interested had adhered to quotas being better than other forms of restriction. Nevertheless, they had raised mutton prices substantially in three years without any appreciable difference to the consumer.
