TEN PER CENT TARIFF?
BRITISH FISCAL POLICY
NEWSPAPER SPECULATES
LONDON, 3rd February. The- "Daily .Express" understands that the Government on Thursday will announce in the House of' Commons, first, a' general 10 per cent, tarii!: on all foreign imports except a few selected raw materials and some foodstuffs; secondly, free entry for all Dominion and colonial imports. . , . •,
Thursday will be the greatest day of Empire jubilation since 1918, says the "Express," which suggests that the next move rests with the Dominions and Colonies, who should try to' match Britain's historic gesture. The Colonies should impose a 10 per cent. levy on foreign imports and grant Dominions goods, preference, while the Dominions might gracefully adjust their preferential tariffs to • the same degree.
