Handfield, managing director of Robin, Jones and Whitman, fish dealers. Speaking particularly of cod and haddock, Mr. Whitman termed the proposed' increase 1a tariff from 13% to 2% cents a pound, "a most drastic increase on a low priced article of food."

Mr. Whitman predicted strong protest against the passage of the Lawley bill, by consumers affected.
