Ho added : “Britain cannot* afford, at present, to indulge overmuch in politics.” li would not. he, said, greatly improve affairs to. be entering on Parliamentary chaos with Governments that would be lacking a majority. Aloreover an old-fashioned light against protection was not going to help industry. The establishment ol a general system of protection would not be the issue at the general election.
