AFRICAN BUDGET.
ATTACKED BY GENERAL SMUTS. CAPETOWN, April 27. A bitter debate is proceeding in the Assembly on the Government’s Budget. General Smnts declared: “Wo shall not acquiesce in any policy which places the Empire behind other countries. When our day conies, we will reverse the Government’s policy and see Britain treated as she should be.” He moved that the estimates be referred hack, with instructions to submit amended tariff proposals recognising the principle that Britain should enjoy preference above foreigners. Colonel Creswell, in replying, argued that General Smuts was advocating the policy of the 16th century—that the Dominions should he run for the economic profit of Britain, which had lost her tier American colonies.—A. and N.Z. cable.
