WATERED CAPITAL:

Mr. Phillip Snowden, Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply declared that the motor trade had had ample notice of the change of conditions which had aroused so much opposition. Attacking the agitation allegedly carried, on by employers amo.g workers he asked what good the duties had done the motor trade seeing that 75 per cent. of British manufacturers were in the hands of their banks. Exports in 1922 were lower than in 1913 remove them after the war. They included tariffs while during the same period the imports had doubled. The effect of the duties had ceased to be of 33.1/3 per cent on imported motor cars, pianos, protective because British manufacturers specialize watches, clocks, cinema films and a few other ed in the British type to the exclusion of American articles. There have been intimations in the papers competition. The British motor car trade would find that it did not want protection when it got rid of watered capital and put its affairs on a sound financial basis. There could be no compromise over the withdrawal of the duties.

lately on the part of a number of manufacturers in the trades concerned, particularly the motor car makers, that abolition of the duties would mean the wholesale dismissal of workers. Hence the doubt whether the Labour Government would abolish the duties and Mr. Snowden's explanation during the Budget debate that the date of abolition was fixed for August I in order to avoid inconven lence to the trades concerned.

Nine Liberals' supported the motion. No Labour member voted against the Government. Mr. Purcell was an abstainer.-Reuter.
