THE TARIFT WAR on CANADA.
Earl OF Portsmouth Wants Information
About Gerrnany's Attitude.
Special Gable Despatch TO TIN Sun.

special CooIe DfspdCH 10 INN SNS'
LONDON, June 20. In the House of Lords
this afternoon the Earl of Portsmouth. a
Liberal peer. asked when the Government
intended to lay before Parliament the pro-
posals to induce Germany to modify her
| tariff regulations against Canada.
The Earl said the impression was largely
entertained abroad that the effect Of the
preferential tariffs was very O. lsiderable in
regard to the British trade with Canada
So far from that being the case. he said
since they came into force EnglaId's trade
with Canada had diminished He did not
complain of Canada. but he wanted 1t to
be known that this country had not been
aided by the preferential tariffs. Canada
had wisely taken the precaution in her own
interests that nothing should prevent her
importing from the United States what
ever she required from that country.
The Earl OF Portsmouth added that he
did not wish to offend the Colonies. but the
Colonial problem and the British problem
were totally different. England had to feed;
they had to build up population. That
central fact must never be lost sight Of
The Marquis of Lansdowne, Secretary Of
State for Foreign Affair.", said the Gov
ernment considered that the time had come
when they should endeavor to find some
means Of ascertaining whether II was pos
sible to obtain closer fiscal union with tn"
Colonies; to find some means of protecting
them if they were subjected to ill-t'rat-
ment in consequence Of the preferential
treatment they granted to the mother
country, and to discover means of protect
ing British interests against negotiable
competition.
The debate, in which Lord Rosebery,
Viscount Goschen formerly Chancellor OF
the Exchequer, and the Duke of Devon
shire, President of the Council joined, re-
solved itself into discussion regarding the
nature OF the Government s inquiry into the
tariff question.
The Duke Of Devcnshire declared that
the Government WIS endeuvoring to arrange
its existing information in manner in
which II would be able to ccnsider it for
itself. Then the result world doubtless

TO ADVANCE SCHOOL COURSE.
YOnkcrs Parents Want High school First

a movement on the part OF som Of the
fathers and mothers of pupils in this years
graduating class of Public School 3,
in the Park Hill section of Yonkers, to
have the schools course OF study
extended to cover the first year
of High School work, so that their
boys and girls may remain longer in the
grammar school, seems not to have been
understood by other Of the parents, with
the result that there have been insinuations
that there is a large African concealed
somewhere in the woodpile.
The parents who favor the proposed
change say that their sole reason for want
ing tho advanced work in the gramlner
school is because they feel that their chill
dren are yet too immature and undevt loped
for the High School discipline,
They are anxious that their children
shall continue until their characters are
more fully rounded out under the parenta

say only In he smaller school, whose prin-
cipal. Mrs. Belle Smith Bruce. they urge

to the board by committee consisting
of Prof Frederick Cooper, DR.. Oscar Rogers
and Irving Latin. The board will give the
matter a hearing next month.
Dr. Rogers said yesterday:
"Our only reason for wanting the change
made Ia that some Of US felt that our chill
dren were too young to be sub jected to
the High School discipline and preferred
to leave them In School 3 for another
year.
There is no feeling that the High School

LONDON, June 2o.-Sir Gilbert Parker,

course Of his speech to Mr. Chamberlain's
tariff proposals. He said he did not believe
that battle of tariffs would follow the
adoption of the proposals.
The United States and Germany, hesadded,
had already reached the highest point they
could touch in the way of tariffs, point
which could never be reached by Great
Britain
He explained the quiet reception of Mr.
Chamberlain's proposals in America by
the fact that large body of men in the
United States hoped that they would lead
to reduction of the high American tariff.
Continuing, he said:
$50 this new departure might in the end
result in a Encouragement of the whole
fiscal policy of Europe and America.
The speaker declared that when he dis
cussed with Americans the possibility
of their fighting a hostile tariff their ans wer
