Ho admitted the practical hardship, hut tho same taxes were imposed by foreign countries. If the hardship wero removed the Excheauer must suffer.. The colonies in this matter wanted to have the best of hoth worlds. It must be remembered that the development of the Dominions had been secured .in the first instance hv British capital, and .therefore the Dominions should consider the question of making some compromise. If the taxation of colonial investments were cut off there would be an abandonment of tho principle of.the income tax in Great Britain for many rears. —Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
