THE FISCAL QUESTION.
BRITAIN AND THE COLONIES.
London, October 15.
Viscount Ridley, in a letter to the Tariff Reform League, declares the Government's attitude towards the colonial offers of preference must be critically important in view of the Colonial Conference. If the colonial delegates arc >ent away with the door shut on preference, both the consolidation of the Empire and the economic future of the United Kingdom would become exceedingly grave. Commenting on ihe recent proceedings in the Commonwealth Parliament in connection with British preference, The Times regrets the deci sion of the Senate and stales that 11 may be desirable for the approaching Imperial Conference to consider the question of denouncing treaties, but violations of treaties is a very different matter. I n trca ty matters the Crown is absolute, and the imperial Parliament is unable to legislate f or violation of different treaty obligations.
