The Morning Post interviewed Mr Joseph Chamberlain before his departure for Cannes. Tariff Reformers, said Mr Chamberlain, had not done so well as he expected, but there had beeu au enormous increase in votes. They had feared the worst where the local leaders were most vacillating and timid. Food duties must be explained boldly aud straightforwardly. "The Imperial side is the stronger side of Tariff Reform," added Mr Chamberlain. "The working classes are Imperialists. The laud taxes are popular iv the North of England aud in Scotland. The Unionist set-back there showed the necessity for a progressive laud policy, oue particularly encouraging co-operation. While the Liberal tendency is towards a single Chamber, the Unionists must aim at strengthening the Lords by reform of their constitution." Mr Chamberlain added: "Mr Asquith will ft ml th© Irishman v hard taskmaster."
