THE PROTECTIONISTS

ANSWERED.

Some indication of the divided opinions which exist on the British fiscal problem may be found in the fact that the resolution by promin- ent bankers a month ago, urging the imposition of tariffs on foreign im- ports, has now been answered by another big and influential group comprising bankers, merchants and manufacturers. Amongst these, incidentally, is Sir Charles Addie, well known in the Far East for his association with the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. The arguments which these opponents of Protection put forward may be summed up in the contention that it would be little short of suicidal to impose duties which would raise the prices of supplies of food and raw material, as any, stimulus af- forded by Protection to certain favoured industries could not com pensate for such a disaster.

materiala and higher food bills for their workers, relying upon increas ed Empire purchases at the high- er prices which these increased costs would involve, seems to us a most preposterous idea.
