London, May 6, The unsuccessful attempt by the Opposition during the raport stage of the Budget resolutions in the House of Commone to reduce the duty on Empiro tea was equally abortive when repeated lutor in An amendment to permit the 'connection with cocoa and sugar. importation of Empire-grown cocon tax frog was rejected by 267 to 177.

Opposition efforts were rexdoubled in connection with an amend mont it moved to stabilise proference on Empiro-grown sugar at fifty-ono pence half-penny a hundredweight, for one year. A com- parison was drawn between the proference of thirty-three shillings ten pence a ton given by Britain to the West Indies and the ton and a quarter pounds sterling given by the United States to Porto Rico. It was urged that Britain has to make up the deficiency in the supply of Empire sugar by the purchase of foreign, in either Dutch florins or American dollars, with the effect of tonding to depress sterling further.

Mr.,Snowden said that Empire proferénce had hitherto only increased production by ton por cont. in three years, while the West Indios, for which a special plea was enterad, had a production which had actually decreased.

The amendment was rejected by 243 to 182, and the Budget resolution affecting sugar was confirmed unchanged.
