No such sit- uation had arisen in the pmliamw. tan-y world since the memorable split on Home rule bill and the kcencst interest was manifested in regard to the possible developments. It was freely predicted yesterday afternoon that the Govemmcnt will relegate the thorny question of term preference to a royal commission which will insure time for a full con. siderntion of the matter and for testing the growth 0! popular opin- ion. no debate was adjourned after seâ€" vere criticism' on Premier Balfour's Mr. Chamberlain’s proposals would do more to disunite than to unite the Empire, and if he persisted in them they would destroy the Union- Sir Michael said he Was opposed to Mr. Chaplin's amendment, al- though he sympathized with the lat- ter'e objection to the repeal of the grain duty, but he believed the al- ternative policy to be a greater evil. \Vonld Wreck Empire. Referring to the suggested prefer- ential tariff, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer declared he yielded to no one in appreciating the splen- did work of Mr. Chamberlain. The repeal of the grain duty appeared to the speaker to be a. direct bar to the adoption of preference principles. A continuance of the Premier's attitude of suspended judgment was Impos- sible. Mr. Ritchie, who made a general reply, read a. carefully-prepared statement. The Government. he said, thought there should be an enquiry into the matter of preferen- tial tarifis, but he would be surpris- ed it the inquiry showed any prac- tical means‘of carrying out a policy of preferential duties. He avowed himself to be an out-and-out .frce trader, and added that with his pre- sent knowledge he could not be a party to a, policy WhiCh he believed would be detrimental to the inter- ests of both Great Britain and her colonies, and he believed that the enquiry, from which he Would not shrink, would confirm his present, views. ‘Sir Michael said his colleagues were perfectly aware that the grain duty might be unpopular when he inaug- urated it. But it had been a success and he head heard the proposal to re- peal the duty with surprise and re- gret. He considered that the duty was neCessary, because of the growth of expenditure against which he had protested. It was impossible for a Chancellor of the Exchequer to re- duce expenditure without the hearty and continuous support of the Pre- any taxes are removed it should be those levied on tea and other arti- cles of general consumption. Er. Chaplin referred to the extra- ordinary position in which the fol- lowa's of the Government had been mated by the indecision of the Min- isters. It was useless, he added, to seek guidance or leadership from them. He concluded with formally moving his amendment, on which, he said, he meant to divide the House. Bloke-Beach Supports. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach (Conserv- ative), invited the Speaker's decis- ion as to whether the opportunity could be taken for debate on Mr. Chamberlain’s amendment. The Speaker replied that it was not re- levant to the Budget Bill, as the question of preferential tariff rates between Great Britain and her colon- ies was not raised in the bill. The scope of the Qlobate was thus largely curtailed at the outset. The motion was seconded, and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach followed.

Before the debate opened Pmmler Balfour ascertained from John Red- mond, the Irish leader, that the Na- tionalist members of Parliament would support the Government as against Mr. Chaplin. The Liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Banner- man, had already announced that his party would also uphold the proposal of Chancellor of the Exche- quer Ritchie to remit the grain tax. This practically ensured the Govern- ment from possible defeat at the hands oi its own supporters. IEED N01 FEAR DEW British Finance Debate Develops I Peculiar Situation. Hr.
