TARIFF REFORM.
PRESS CRITICISM. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, January -■ The Times says that, without taxing food, preference might lie conceded on luxuries such as wine, tobacco or manufactures, which the colonies could supply under the stimulus of a moderate tariff. There were also possibilities of preference in the matter of telegrams and finance. The latter was perhaps the most important. Sir Edgar Speyer had calculated that the overseas Dominions now received a financial preference of one per cent., equivalent to ten millions annually.
A UNIONIST CONFERENCE. Received January 10.50 p.m. London. January ...

Mr. Bonar Law promised to careully consider the views of the l nionists. Groups representing the agricultural divisions also met and decided to urge the elimination of the food taxes.
