policy. Yet all three members who spoke against preference for tea from India and Ceylon talked about the risk of retaliation from China. Mr. Austen Chamberlain re- torted with just and effective indigna- tion. He showed that fiscal arrange ments between various parts of the Empire are no concern of other coun tries, who make similar internal arrangements without Great Britain or any State of the Empire thinking of being offended by them. He said with proper emphasis that if any other country should take upon itself to be offended by Imperial Pre- ference; we should know how to meet such a protest. That is exactly the Dominion point of view; but it has actually to be asserted with some heat by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons, whereas in the Dominions it is taken absolutely for granted and has never been questioned for years past, Canada, in fact, successfully resisted years ago an attempt by Germany to prevent by threats the grant of Canadian preference to British pro- ducts; and all the Dominions would do the same if the need ever came.

Write or Call, MOKLIN, Managing Director.
No more wantonly mischievous and very few more misleading state- ments have been made recently than the Times hardy comment on the opposition to Mr. Chamber. ain's Preference scheme. It was pointed out in the debate certainly relevantly and surely reasonably that discrimination against Chinese tea involved the possibility of retaliation by China against British, more especially Lancashire, industries. The Chinese market is notoriously of the highest importance to our cotton trade. The comment of the Times" on this argu ment is that no member of a. Do- minion Parliament would dare to employ it. The Dominions to do: them justice have never been slow to defend their own interests where they held them imperilled. Thecase the Newfoundland Fisheries the more recent case of Samoaand the German colonies are merely obvious instances out of many. We do not complain of this for a moment. But

ti e interests involved in Lancashire's trade with China are far greater than either of these. The effects of the blockade since the war have shown once more if it needed
intimately showing how cotton industry is dependent on international trade. But even the spectacle of 100,000 operatives out of work is apparently insufficent to convince the determined Tariff Reformers that the British Empire is not and cannot be self-supporting.
NAMES, PLEASE !
Munitions finarice has played ducks and drakes with public funds during the war. There is one only remedy: the rames of the officials responsible must be published. More muddles, more waste, incompétent administration, dishonest contracting, are again the fitures of the Auditor General's latest report CD this. Department. A manager is dismissed. "Waste was going on, d'scipline was slack, and supervision was inefficient." But he draws £1,600 for working two days a week during four months. Who drew that contract?"A firm gets an advance of £35,000, which is not deducted from later payments. Other "e.rors" to the tupt £30,000 occurred in the Ministe accounts with the same firm. What is the rame of the official responsible for these
errora"?
The black list of firms convicted in the courts does not go far enough. The public should know the names of these grocsly incompetent officials and of dishonest contractors, whose Identity, for ore reason or another, has been corcsaled. Why deces the Government ahelter these people who have served the public so badly? If the convention that Civ Servants must not be criticized has become a shield for incompetence or worse, the convention must go. Let the Minister defend the innocent and the public judge the guilty. Give us the names-Daily Mail.
