MR CHAMBERLAIN.

TARIFF QUESTIONS. Press Association —Copyright. Received December 3, 8.42 a.m. Loudon, December 2. . Mr Chamberlain, writing to the East Birmingham Unionist Association, says that he hopes before long to resume his place in the front rank of tho fight for unionism and for the policy of which tho country now stands more than ever in need He was couvin ;ed that the future of the country depended on tariff reform from which none would profit more than the workers who at present were called upon to fight competitors at a disadvantage with their hands tied behind their backs. In reply to an invitation from Mr Lloyd George for an expression of opinion Huddersfield Chamber of Commerce declares that the increase in the Australian duty on woollen goods will necessarily be prejudicial to Huddersfield, but as the Chamber recognises the absolute right of the Commonwealth to foster her own industries and judge tho amount of duties necessary it does not consider it desirable to offer any opinion regarding tho duties.
