THE FISCAL ISSUE,
MELBOURNE, Nov. 24. Mr Deakin, the Federal Premier, referring to the cabled summary of the British Tariff Commission's recommendation, published yesterday, stated that the commission had simply studied the British situation/ from a British point of view in the interests of British producers, and had arrived at its conclusions probably without taking into account the reciprocal benefits certain to accrue from tariff requirements of the kind here it was highly satisfactory to see that men of business on the other sido of instead of thinking only of i,their own and local interests, should arrive at conclusions which, if adopted, would be benefioiai to all tbe great agricultural dominions, such as Australia, Canada, and New Zaaland. The findings of the commission were certain to have great weight with the thoughtful and open-minded electors of tbe Motherland. Mr Ramsay Maadonald, tho hJng lish Labour representative, who is visiting the colonies, declared that the finding would have no influence, and exoite no interest. A duty on oolouial wheat would inevitably moan a dearer loaf, the only people benefiting being English landlords. Britain would hive first of all to protect her own farmers, and tho latter were not goiug to allow the New Zealand, Australian, and Canadian farmer to cut them out of their- market. No preference was required to encourage the frozen meat trade, for instance. So far ns he could see, it would only increase the profits of tbe Australian laud owner, and consequently his political power. The Labour Party, ho was sure, was not going to authorise any suoh thing here to injure the party's prospeots. t j
