The Inconsistency in the Con- servative attitude is seen from the fact that whilst facilities are to be placed in the way of manufac-. turers of such commodities boots, shoes, hosiery, etc., the Government steadfastly refuses to extend anything in the nature of Protection to agriculture.

The Prime Minister has given his pledge that there shall be no duty on imported wheat, meat and other foodstuffs, and there the matter ends. It is obvious that he fears an extension of "asfeguarding" to agricultural products would send up the price of food. Surely by a similar process of reasoning the effect would be the same on household
