regard to his
sideas for the revision of
our fiscal policy. Although his Lord- ship condemned it as ‘a gamble in the food of the people, discussions raised by such proved and able statesmen are what we require to solve the problem as to whether the adoption of preferential tariffs, with the principal object of benefiting our Colonies, on which .80 much of the prosperity of our Empire depends, will be sufficient recompense ANGLO-AMERICAN STORES, for the increase of taxation on food which may arise.

that some satisfactory arrangement has at last been made about the Law Courts, but it must be borne in mind that we have heard hopeful statements before and have suffered a considerable amount of disappointment. It is clear that the Law Courts site has been rec'aimed for about 13 years, also the site in front of the Club; and yet we still have grass growing on both of them. I fully admit the desire of the Government in this and other matters to do their best for the public interests, but it seeins to me that perhaps the cost to us has been some. what overlooked. It does not seem very clear that it is a needful matter to delay the construction of these two buildings because this Colony, like many a prosperous in- stitution runs on a debit balance, and ve could not do that unless at a-charge of 5 per cent. It is quite clear that if we my 8500.000 for the Post Office site we would pay 825,000 in interest. It is no good to 20 into the loss of interest in the past on the sites to the cast of that, but take the two together, and I am perhaps not overstating the value when I say they are worth 81,000,000, which is a cost of $50,000 a year or $1,000 a week to us. From that point of view it seems to me that we are losing money because as far as I can soo we are in a very strong position. We have got the two old public officesin Queon's Road, I suppose, to sell and apply towards these buildings, and we have got the valuable site in front of the Club, so that so far as I can see we have assets which will enable us to put theso two buildings up, without any cash coming in either. Wo have actually got the money, and it seems to me that we have had it for some time.
