DENIAL BY MR. CHAMBERLAIN.
WITH THE FARMERS.
Mr. Neville Chamberlain recent ly denied that he gave a definite pledge to the Norfolk Agricultural Purly that the next Conservative Government would tax foreign foodstuffs,
П
Mr. J. F. Wright, chairman of the Agricultural Party, told meeting of Norfolk farmers, that Mr. Chamberlain gave the proming "to me and nine of my colleagues.
"The question." said Mr. Wright, "was put to Mr. Chamberlain These exact words:
"'Do you menn to pul on foreign foodatusīs?' "The answer was:
That is the intention Conservative Party.'"

TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1931.
WHEN 10 P.M.` IS 22
O'CLOCK.
CHANGING THE FACE OF TIME.
Lord Marlay announced in the House of Lords recently that the Government will give "careful and sympathetic consideration" to the suggestion for a 24-hour clock.
He was doubtful, however, if there was any real demand for a change.
In view of the assurance given, Lord Newton withdrew a motion which had revealed a sharp divi- sion of opinion among their lord- ships.
The motion was that:
"In accordance with the recom-; mendations of the Home Offico of the Committee appointed in 1919, the Ministry of Transport should in- vite the railway companies to adopt the 24-hour system of ex- pressing time, and that it should be simultaneously introduced into the Post Office.
Mr. Chamberlain's deniul is contained in the following stale. ment;
My attention has been called to a statement reported to have been made by Mr. J. F. Wright, in which he refers to a promise said for have been made by me to a meeting of Norfolk farmers and purports to give the exact words of a qucation put to me and my answer thereto.
I very much regret that Mr. Wright should, without communica- lion with me, have published his own version of a private conversa tion-a version which I have no hesitation in saying is a complete misrepresentation of the conversu
tion.
I was neither asked for, nor did I give, any pledge or promise to the farmers at the meeting in question.
What I did do, after receiving from Mr. Wright the
assurance
that everything I said would be treated as strictly confidential, was to disclose to the mecting with some fulness the nature and course of the confidential investi gations which were being carried out by one of the committeer of the Research Department into the importation of foreign goads, in- chiding foodstuffs.
Food Tax Not Excluded,
The policy of the Conservative Party in regard to agriculturo was accurately stated by Lord Beaverbrook in his letter to me of March 27.
Taxes on imported foreign food stuffs are not excluded from it but whether such taxes are used to protect the British farmer from: foreign dumping or whether the method of quota or prohibition is preferred, will depend on the cir- cumstances of each case.
Mr. Wright's Reply.
Mr. J. F. Wright, chairman of the Norfolk Agricultural Party, made the following statement re- garding Mr. Chamberlain's denial:
Chamberlain makes fundamental error which not only limits the understanding which we reached but also definitely alters it.
"Mr. Chamberlain promised that the Conservative Party won develop a policy for increasing agricoltuon production on the same bread lines that it would in- crecise manufacturing production.
"In his statement which he has just ride his words have an entire- ly different meaning. Referring to fondstuffs, he said that duties. quotas, and prohibitions would be used nerording to the necessities of each case to prevent foreign dumping.
WIS
"That is not at all the under- starling reached between Mr. Chamberlain and ourselves, Mr. Chamberlain's pledge to us that the purpose of the Conserva- tive Party was to increase British agricultural production and to usu any or all of the methods discuss- ed to achieve that object,
"He must know that dumped

that British would still be crushed by food imports from abroad.
"Damped imports are only one phase of the menace of our home producers in all lines of activity. Mr. Chamberlain will no doubt be anxious to issue a correction at once for the error made in his statement.
"Needless to say, I have not disclosed anything of a confidential nature."

War Lesson,
Lord Newton pointed out that during the war our present system was shown to be thoroughly im- practicable, and we wore obliged to resort to the system which he How advocated. It proved so satisfactory that it had since been permanently adopted by the Navy, partially adopted by the Army and almost completely adopted by the Air Forco..
