Giving an instance of the attitude of the Government

regards Colonial sugar, he said that Mr. Snowden's view that sugar and pre- ferential duties might go was directly contrary to the Conserva- tive opinion.

If the Dominions showed they wanted something in return which was obtainable by the taxation of foreign foodstuffs, the Conserva- tives, when next in office," would submit a treaty for a clear cut and popular referendum.

He emphasised that the country would not be asked to vote upon food taxes at the next election. Mr. Baldwin declared that the party was united on the policy as stated at the Hotel Cecil on March 4.

In the course of a recent speech

Mr. Baldwin said:

"We must wed Imperial policy with domestic policy. I remain anwilling to ask Britons to give any vote on the question of food taxes, unless and until they know exactly what is involved, and what they may be going to get in C change."
