Shoddy Document. Mr. G. Sims, leader of the Labour Party, in proposing an amendment that the "House" had no confidence in His Majesty's advisers, said that never had there been a more shoddy document placed before Parliament at the beginning of a session. It was undigestive, irrelevant and full of deliberate evasions. For years the leaders of the Govern- ment party had tried to put Pro- tection before the country. but the country had turned it down, as it always would.
On the other hand the leader of The Liberal Party, a position which had already changed he noticed hands (laughter), clung patheti- cally to his one and only policy.
Describing the Government's policy as full of sops, Mr. Sims said that when Imperial Preference was mentioned, clear thinking was lost in the cheers for the Empire. The Government drew a veil over their face and badgers across the trail on the question of unemployment and pride in the Empire, in order to foist tariff's upon the try.
Mr. F. Rees (Labour) in second- ing the Opposition amendment, quoted figures to show that im protected countries such as Ger- many and America, unemployment reached a very high figure, and that America had stated that Pro- tection was useless for bringing prosperity to. a country. He taunted the Government that they had failed to include the coal problem in their policy, and refer- red them to their exploitation of the workers in 1926, They had then appointed a Commission to enquire into the question, only to turn down its findings and sug gestions.
