ASKING TOO MUCH
OTTAWA, Friday. Mr. Baldwin's memorandum, every word of which obviously had had tbe weightiest consideration, is interpr-e-ted as Britain's intimation to the Dominions that the "demands" at the conference must not be all on their side-. The Dominions are taking special notice of that part of the statement which says: "There is practically no free entry of British exports into the four principal Dominions,." hinting that the present scale of preference is insufficient from the British viewpoint. The publication of such views, inftcad of merely enunciating them in the privacy of conference, is regarded as a mild indication to the Dominions that the British delegates are slightly piqued at the. forcefulness of the Dominions' demands, coming like an encircling attack. More over, the eyes of the British people are focussed on Ottawa, therefore the British delegation must walk waiily, knowing that assent to anything in the nature of food taxes would cause a tremendous reaction in Britain. The statement is regarded as the most vital pronouncement since the conference met at Ottawa.
