It is currently reported that there are Marconi dissensions in the Cabinet, some of the members asking Mr Lloyd George and Sir Rufus Isaacs to resign.
TARIFF REFORM. London, April 3. In the House of Commons, a tariff reform motion, embodying Mr Bonar Law’s Edinburgh policy, was rejected by 279 to 196. Sir J. A. Simon said that if Imperial preference were adopted, without imposing fresh duties on foodstuffs, only £200,000 to £300,000 worth of imports from the Dominions would be affected. This was a small operation with which to cement the Empire.
Mr Bonar Law stated that simultaneously with the adoption of a profenential tariff, part of the revenue would be used to relieve the burden of taxation on agriculture.
