Beaverbrook | Empire Plan | Is Rejected Leaders of Three Parties in Upper House Oppose Protective Tariff London.â€"Lord Beaverbrook‘s farâ€" reaching scheme for free trade within the British Commonwealith of Nations with a protective tari#@ against the rest of the world received its temporâ€" ary political quietus in the House of Lords debate. The discussion brought out the fact that none of the great political parties were prepared to supâ€" port the scheme. 7 Lord RBeaverbrook pointed to the predominance the United States had achieved in the world markets as an evidence of what might be effected by the British Commonwealth of Nations under similar tariff conditions. "In 191% the year before the war," hoi said, "American exports of manufacâ€" | tured goods were only half of those of Great Britain. Now in the year 1929, American exports of manutacâ€" tured goods are actually more thanl the exports of Great Britain." I |ccd t 2s hedc t c He argued it was no more difficult . for the British Empire to adopt tariff unification now than it had been In' the past, for Canada and Anstrallat had introduced a similar arrangement thoughout their territories. He was answered by Lord Ornold for the Government, Lord Cushenden for the Conservatives and Lord Beauâ€" | champ for the Liberals, The firstâ€"| named described Lord Benverbrook’s‘ proposals as "a scheme for the reâ€"| versal of the fiscal policy of the mothâ€" er couptry." He went on: "You couldl not have what he called free trade‘ within the empire unless you first made Great Britain a protectionist ° eountry. 1 need scarcely say His Ma: jesty‘s Government is strongly op-l posed to any such policy. This is &1 tree trade country. Time after time attempts have been made to lndncel people to desert their allegiance to' free trade. I say that the mandato of| His Majesty‘s present Government is to mall do it." Lord Cushenden also ruled out Lord Reaverbrook‘s proposals as 2 practiâ€" cal policy though personally he symâ€" pathized with them. He said that he was not convinced they appealed to the Dominions. He also recalled his ewn unsuccessful endeavor 20 years ago in fighting four elections in Great Britain on somewhat similar proâ€" posals put forward by Joseph Chamâ€" berlain as evidence of the British electorate being quiteo unlikely â€"to agree. Lord Beauchamp said that Lord Beaverbrook‘s proposals should be eddresse@ BHot so much to Great Briâ€" tain asâ€"(o the selfâ€"governing Doâ€" minions, where the tendency was to ticrease, not to diminish, protective éutios.

In plain English it is a drug which when given to patients suffering from high blood pressure, & frequent trouble of people approachâ€" ing old age reduces the pressure of blood coming from the heart by more than ten millimeters in 73 per cent. of the cases. In thirtyâ€"nine patients showing symptoms definitely trace« | able to high blood pressure relief by use of curcurbocitrin was obtained by $2 per cent, of the cases. Drs.

Australian Budget Springs Surprise Graded Superâ€"tax on Incomes| to Make Up Big Deficit Will Make Living High Canberra, Australia, â€" A domes{ic" bombshell was exploded when Hon. E. G. Theodore, commonwealth treasurer presented the new Labor governâ€" ment‘s budget. Henceforth the goyâ€" ernment will levy a supertax on inâ€"| comes, varying from 10 per cent,. on incomes above $1,000 to 20 per cent.| on incomes over $15,000. \| Increased duties are imposed on cigars, textiles, metal manufactures, motorcar bodies, motorcar gears and motor chassis. There was no time to prepare an entirely new budget statement and therefore he had to accept some of the proposals laid down by his predeâ€" cessor in the Bruce government, Mr. Theodore stated. As the former government left a. deficit of $10,000,000 he would have to get $6,000,000 more from customs and excise, and the remainder from the supertax, Mr. Theodore explained. The new government, he continued in makâ€" ing the statement to the house of reâ€" presentatives, was convinced there were defects in the present system of credit control,. These militated against the best use being made of credit reâ€" sources. ‘The organization of credit, which was one of the nation‘s great services, would therefore be controlâ€" led by national institutions. The government would also conâ€" sider shortly remodelling the commonâ€" wealth bank to increase its scope, the treasurer said. He was unable to make any provision or liquidation of the accumulated deficits of former Qvemments. "Wae inherited an empty treasury but we do not view the future pessimistically," he said. The report that Mrs. Hoover and Miss Ishbel MacDonald have been out riding at Rapidan on horses from the neighboring marine camp is regarded as justifying confidence that the disâ€" cussions on naval reduction do not inâ€" clude the question of disbanding the horse marines. 4 WOULD PRESERVE ANCIENT NIAGARA LANDMARK ”R:njinider of Days "Gone Fprever” 474( 4B aii is cac4. 40 4 & Th 4 148. d t sond h MA dfi ac itc Mississauga, Niagaraonâ€"theâ€"Lake, for the preserving of which society will petition government, Bottomâ€"Massive tunnél | _ After being towed from Trave muende to Groetmitz, the machine‘s | propellers were set in motion by 6.30 | a.m..

In conformity with this judgment the President may be expected to ignore the tariff in his coming annual message, or so to treat it that legislation on the lines recomâ€" mended by him six months ago will not seem urgent.
