BRITAIN’S FISCAL POLICY.
“FREE TRADE PEDANTRY BLOWN TO PIECES.” United Press Association--By '’Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright (Received March 4, 11.45 p.m.) LONDON, March 4. Attention has been attracted by a speech by Sir John Simon (Liberal), at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, in which, referring to the difficulty of reducing the national expenditure, said that he felt bound to invite his fellow countrymen, who like himself had inherited free trade traditions, to “ponder on the fiscal methods we may be bound to adopt.” The “Daily Telegraph” expresses the opinion that the speech must have farreaching results. A whole mass of antitariff pedantry has been blown to pieces by a Liberal statesman.
