KING FUAD'S VISIT.
[FROM OUR OWN COLRISPONDENT. |
LONDON, July 9th.

can give is Protection. Agriculture is suffering from do pression, but so are many other Industries. There are a few Mini- ters like Mr. Amery, who are all for assisting producers, whether factory owners or farmers or any thing else, by means of tariffs, and this fact alarms some good Con servatives lest the Cabinet should again be tempted to tread the dan- gerous path of Protection.
