THE FRENCH TARIFF.

MATTER OF GRAVEST CONCERN. I | RETALIATION PROBABLE. j MR WINSTON CHURCHILL'S | VIEWS. j i 1 Received March 5, 8.10 a.m. LONDON, March 4. The Right Hon. Winston Churchill, President of the Board of Trade, speaking at a Chamber of Commerce > banquet, said revision of the French tariff was a matter of the gravest concern to the trading community. The Board of Trade was fully prepared to take steps to safeguard the interests of the country. America's j tariff revisions, he added, appeared to partake of the nature of a reduction of duties. Dealing with tariffs generally, Mr Churchill repeated the substance of a declaration mad<s 5n a recent speech, to the effect that retaliation, as an occasional weapon 1 , way possibly be used. He continued:: "'While responsible for the Board of Trade, no utterance of mine shall tie tiie hands- of the country in the tatoing of any' steps for the permanent advantage of trade." Mr Andrew Bonar Law, Conservative member for the Dulvvieh>Division of Camberwell, said that Mr Churchill's speech not long ago would have been absolutely impossible from a Liberal. It was a refreshing contrast to the old dogrm-., that the only way to light hostile tariffs was- by free imports.
