The Scheme Talked to Death in the
House of Commons.
LoHpoE, Feb. FIN the House of Com
mons tonight Mr.. Vincent moved that the
government, at the earliest opportunity,
invite the British colonies to conference
in London to debate the best means of
forming zollverein. He continued that
an imperial federation was only 10 be OBJ
tanned through a commercial federation.
Many of the leading colonial statesmen and
others favored a commercial federation.
Sir Lyon Playfair criticised.the motion as
covering a protectionist movement He
argued that, owing to the int est Of the
colonies, zollverein was impracticable. He
quoted statistics showing the increase of
British trade during the present regime.
He contended that it would be more in
judicious to arrest the reaction in America
against the excessive protection induced by
the Mckinley law by imposing differential
duties against America for the
benefit of the colonies. Considering
all the circumstances, there was no basis to
justify parliament in inviting the colonies
to a conference. In conclusion he expressed
hope for an ultimate union OF the colonies
on a free trade basis.
Mr.. Lowther declared that there was no
real free trade party in America, and that
the whole world, with the exception of Eng
land. was becoming protectionists. He said
"Unless we give our colonies commercial
facilities we had better make up our mInds
to vacate the imperial position"
GosCHEN SPEAKS.
Mr.. Goschen, chancellor of the exchequer,
said that whatever might be the fate Of the
motion, England had no desire to influence
the Canadian elections. He sympathined
with some points in Mr.. Vincent's speech
He believed that the increasing desire for a
closer union between England and the COL
onies ought to be fostered. BE also
conceded that many of the views
Of Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill had
lost the authority they formerly exerted,
and It was no longer possible TO denounce
opposing views as ciaptrap; still, he must
hold to what was sound in their views, and
he hoped that the suspicious of lurking pro-
tectaon would not retard the colonies.
While he granted that the country must be
prepared for some fiscal changes in
interests of that union, the colon
lists must understand that 1t was impossible
for England to tax corn. [Cheers. There
was no likelihood that the colonies would
consent TO a conference on feee trade basis
There only remained differential duties, and
he failed to see how they could be imposed.
It seemed 50 him, therefore. that the con-
ference would be merely an invitation to
follow 'will-o'.the- wisp."
MIR. Vincent withdrew his motion.
