BRITISH TARIFFS
MUCH-QUOTED ARTICLE. (Per Pres Association.) Received March 9, 11.30 p.m. LONDON, March 9. Mr J. M. Keynes, in a much-quoted article, advocates a tariff including no discriminating duties but one or two fiat rates, each applicable through a wide range of categories of goods. This might be 15 per cent, on all manufactures or semi-manufactures and 5 per cent, on foodstuffs and certain raw materials, while other raw materials would be exempt. Mr Keynes expresses the opinion that duties have an insignificant effect on tho cost of living while they would relieve the pressing Budget problems and restore business confidence.
