..
James Fowler Ebone, a printer's traveller, of St. Margaret'in Themes, was at Bow-street Police Court sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the rebond division for having on August 21, outside the Central Hall, Westminister, attempted to spread reports likely to givarise to dis- sffection to bis Majesty by osasing to be publicly distributed certain pamphlets, consisting of four pages of printed matter, not bear ing any heading or title or date or printer's name, in contravOR, tion of Paragraph 27 of the De fence of the Realm Regulations." It was sisted by the prosecution that defendant employed three j sandwich men, through a circu- Iarising agency, to distribute the leafste outside the Central Hall on the cocssion of the adjourned Labour Conference on August 21. Defendant said he admitted his responsibility for the distribution of the pamphlet, but he was not the author of it. The purpose and purport of it, be added, ware the same sa those of Lord Lane- downe's letter,

When this policy was first before the com mittee they invited and received evidence or representations from the French Government on the anbject and it is understood that at first a strong French protest
·was made, on behalf of the French Government, against s general tariff on all imports. After rather prolonged considera. tion the Committee agreed to put forward a compromise recom mendation; excluding food com- modities from the 10 per cent, ad valorem tariff proposed on im ports. This, it is believed, will meet the views of the French Government, but the proposal when the report in ireued ie sore. to arcufe & good deal of con. troversy in England.
