FOOD TAXES.
THE-BONAR LAW PROPOSALS
PRESS CRITICISMS.
SHIFTING THE RESPONSIBILITY.
By .Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright
London, December 17. "The Times" says that the Unionist leaders must not attempt to shift tho onus of food taxation on to the Conference of Overseas Ministers. If the taxation is undesirable as u purely domestic reform, then it is not desirable at all.
Tho "Daily .Chronicle" snys that Mr. Boimr Law's suggestion is a palpable attempt to shift the odium of taxes on food •from the shoulders of the Unionists to the Dominions. OPENING THE DOOR. TO MEMBERS OF THE IMPERIAL FAMILY. London, December 17. The "Manchester Guardian" soys that Mr. Bonar Law's offer in Lancashire to refer the British food taxes to tho judgment of a body of strong overseas Protectionists is a hollow mockery. The "Pall Mall Gazette" says the speech means a reversal of tho "Banged, barred, and bolted-door policy." Tho Dominions will be treated as members of the Imperial family. The "Star" says that Mr, Bonar Law is not willing to allow Great Britain to decide the food taxes; the colonies alone are to settlo Great Britain's fate.
