Premier MacDonald and the Laborites, with the assistance of the Lib_era`ls, emerged victorious against what was practically a vote of censure moved by former, Premier . Baldwin in the British Commons. It is probable that 9. considerable num- berrof Labor,men. in addition to the nine who had, publicly proclaimed their disapproval of the Government's action, were in favor `of retention of the McKenna ,duties for at least an- other year. But when the Conserva- tives madethis question the basis for a proposed no confidence vote, there ~was nothing for the Government to do but fight it.
