TARIFF REFORMERS' CRUSADE.
MR CHAMBERLAiN INTERVIEWED. I I t Received February 7, 10.30 p.m. LONDON, February 7. I The "Morning Post" interviewed i Mr Joseph Chamberlain before his departure for Cannes. Tariff Reformers, said Mr Chamberlain, had not j done so well as he expected, but there had been an enormous increase in votes. They had feared the worst where the local leaders were most vacillating and timid. Food duties must be explained boldly and straightforwardly. "The Imperial side istha stronger side of Tariff Reform," addei Mr Chamberlain. "The working classes are Imperialists. The land taxes are popular in the North of England and in Scotland. The Unionist set hack there showed the necessity for a progressive land policy, one particularly encouraging co-oper-ation. While the Liberal tendency is towards a single chamber the Unionists must aim at strengthening the Lords by relorm of its constitution." Mr Chamberlain added: "Mr Asquite will find the Irishman a hard taskmaster."
