IMPERIAL POLITICS.
THE SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Press Association.) London, February 9. The House of Commons, in committee, agreed to the Supplementary Estimates. THE INSURANCE ACT. Speaking on the Insurance Bill, Mr Lloyd George declared that the Act had made an extraordinarily successful beginning, fourteen million paying contributions, and five thousand receiving sanatoria treatment. Thirteen thousand doctors were working under the Act. TARIFF REFORM. London, February 9. Mr Bonar Law, at a Unionist dinner, said that the moment the Unionists were entrusted with power they would be able, without food duties, to give the dominions precisely what they asked in Imperial conferences, namely, preference on existing duties. If it was impossible to have a preferential system, which would help in consolidating the Empire, without food duties, then they must endeavour to carry the latter, but only after submitting it to the people, and convincing them that it would be to the advantage of both the Empire and the United Kingdom.
