Mr. Macdonald, in reply, stated that soon after the outbreak of war, the Government decided as part of their general policy in preventing undue rises in the prices of essential commodities, to fix a maximum price for tin in this country, and to request the Governor of the Straits Settle- ments to take parallel action in that Colony.
It was never intended that these maximum prices should be main- lained indefinitely without regard to the level of the prices elsewhere.
