BRITISH FINANCE BILL
IMPORT DUTIES AND THE DOMINIONS MOTION TO EXEMPT By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyriehi London, October 20. The House of Commons discussed the Finance Bill in Committee. Sir Howel Davies moved to exempt Dominions' goods from import duties. Wo ought, he said, to deal sympathetically with the colonies, who were ably assisting in the war and assuming creat financial responsibilities. Wo ought to take them more into our counsels. Tho amendment would reciprocate the actions ,of the Dominions in giving Britain preference tariffs.^ Mr. W. A. S. Hewins supported the motion. Ho was desirous of exterminating German financial influence in the British Empire. . The Hon. E. S. Montague said these were not duties which a tariff reformer would suggest. They were not designed to give preference, but to prevent importation from any source. An amendment 1 would therefore destroy tho objects for which the taxes wero imposed. The motion was negatived by 125 votes to 20. ,
