CHAMBERLAIN ON
DEAD DOCTRINES
FORMER COLONIAL SECRETARY
SAYS ENGLAND MUST CEASE
CHERlSHtNG TRADITIONS.
WORLD LEAVING HER BEHIND
Other Countries Grow and Prosper While
Great Britain Goes Backward
Under Cobdenism..
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS,

London, Oct. 3.-"Every other nation
and all our self-governed colonies have re
fused to accept the gospel of Golden, and
yet, although they ought, according to its
dogmas, to be in the last stages of depres-
sion and decline, they have grown during
the last 20 years in veal, population and
trade and in everything that goes to make
UP the greatness Of nation"
That is the keynote Of Joseph Chamber
lain's manifesto which will be published
October S in the form or preface to q
shilling pamphlet, entitled "Mr. Chamber
lain's Proposals; What They Mean and
What We Shall Gain by Them" by Mr.
{. A. Vince, secretary to Mr. Chamber
lain's tariff organization.
Mr.. Chamberlain did not mince matters.
With aggression he carries the war into
the enemy's camp.
Those who maintain he writes, "in n
spirit of blind obscuratism. the absolute
inspiration of antiquated doctrines will
have much to explain"
His remarks are addressed to persons OF
all political organizations since the ques-
tions now raised are not necessarily mat
tiers of party politics, nor indeed is it
likely that the issues will be ultimately
decided on strictly party iines.'
He begins by saying:
1T is difficult to believe that the results
Of the investigation will not convince
every impartial man of the necessity for
some reconstruction Of the system which
has remained stationary and unaltercd
for more than half century while every
other policy has been modified and
adapted to meet modern requirements"
Continuing. Mr.. Chamberlain points on,
that the property of the working classes
has increased in greater proportion in the
protected countries than in the United
Kingdom and says:
Free trade, If il had ever existed. might
have secured for us all that its promoter
promised, but .ree imports without free
trade have brought us face to face with
problems which never entered into Cob
dcns calculations. We know that the ides
of united empire did not appeal to him
and that he regarded the colonies as al
encumbrancc to be got rid off as soon Al
possible. The little Englanders who fol
low his lead are not likely to be moved b.
any consideration arising out of our mes.
found pride and faith in our distant kin~
men, But what would Golden have sale
if he had foreseen that the trades unions
whose existence he deprecated would b,
successful in protecting labor in a scor,
of ways?
