“ RENOUNCING THE TREATIES.” To some people this phrase, recently seen in the cables from England, conveys the idea that there is a malediction about Mr Chamberlain’s intentions regarding foreign nations. It is not quite so severe as that. It means that he will give notice that the ‘‘most favoured nation’’ clause they now enjoy in their Commercial Treaty with England will be terminated, and that the colonies will be permitted, if they choose, to charge higher duties on foreign than on British goods. For instance, the majority of the pianos imported come from the Continent. Beet sugar is another article, and upon which the German Government pay high bounties, so as to compete with sugars from Mauritius and Queensland. Mr Chamberlain’s commercial mind has grasped the fact that tn the British Possessions necessaries of life can be grown on British soil without depending on the Continent for sugar or China for tea. China has recently shown Ingratitude to England by arranging with foreign Powers for railways, and Mr Chamberlain Intends to give tit for tat. What he practically says is-‘You foreigners do notknow when you are well off. I’ll give the colonies leave to send their produce Home on Free Trade lines, and enable them to charge extra duties on goods produced outside our Empire. This will give them an opportunity to reciprocate with Ceylon. a British colony, where that delightful Suraturn. Tea Is grown.
