DISRAELI’S IDEA.
England Swings Back to Ancient Policy. COLONIES JUST MILLSTONES. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph —Copy ri ah: (Received April 7, 12.20 p.m) LONDON', April 6. The “Yorkshire Observer” says: “It is curious that Conservative Imperialists are returning to Disraeli's idea that the colonies are a mill-tone round the neck of the Mother Country. The Quota threat has caused the greatest distress in New Zealand. We have still to learn the true facts about her reported offer of a free market for British goods. Australia is preparing for the crisis fcv rending the Premier of Queensland, Mr Forgan Smith, to discuss meat. South Australia is also opposed to restriction, but Mr Elliot has emphasised that the Dominions must submit to a quota like the Argentine. If we reriouslv hamper Dominion farming, the repercussions will affect enormous British investments in the Dominions, who also will ret continue to welcome British manufactures.”
