The Cape Premier, (Sir Gordon Sprigg), speaking in the Assembly, said that Sir Georgo Farrar, of the Transvaal Legislature, had stated that the Customs 'onvention, the abolition or transit dues, and the reduction of railway freights would save the Transvaal a million a year. Wheat at Johannesburg under the new tariff would be 55s a quarter.
Referring to the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s statement in the House of Commons on the second reading •f the Finance Bill, Sir Gordon said that instead of deploring the paucity of the colonial contributions to the navy, Mr Ritchie had better adopt Mr Chamberlain’s suggestion, and convert the Empire into a partnership based on business principles.
