MORNING POST AND TEA DUTY
London, Apr. 21. With the re-imposition of the duty on tea no man of sense will
quarrel, declares the Morning Post | in a leading article, pointing out that the recent indux of Dutch Colonial tear has resulted in disor 'ganisation, involving the British Empire Industry in severe losses.
Expressing the hope that thei mischief will now be undone, the Morning Pont comments that it would be hardly fair that a Colony like Ceylon, whose tea is to enjoy valuable preference in the Bri- tish market, should not give a cor- responding advantage to British trade in Ceylon.--Renter. "
