CHAMBERLAIN 5
VEINS GWEN OUT
Long Expected Manifesto on
Protection Policy Is Made
Public Today
ao1DEN's GOSPEL is TOO OLD
British Statesman Says It Does Not
Meet the Changed Conditions-othe
Nations Have Proved the Wisdom
Of Preferential Tariffs-some of
chamberlain's Arguments.

London. Oct. 3.-'Every nation and all
OF our self governing colonies have re-
fused to accept the gospel of Golden,
and altho they ought, according to that
dogma, to be in the last stage of de-
preston and decline, they have grown
during the last twenty years in wealth,
population, trade, and In everything
chat goes to make up the greatness of
q nation"
That is the keynote of Joseph Cham
berlain's manifesto to be published Oct.
8, in the form of a preface to a shilling
pamphlet entitled Chamberlain s
Proposals. What they mean, what
we shah gain by them by c. A. Vince,
secretary to Chamberlain's tariff or
ganization. Chamberlain does not
mince matters. With characteristic
aggression, he carries the war into the
eneny's camp.
"Those who maintain" he writes.
sin a spirit OF blind obscurantisni, the
absolute inspiration of an antiquated
doctrine, will have much to explain :
His remarks are addressed to men of
all political opinions, since the
questions now raised are not necessar-
ily matters of party politics. nor in
deed, is it likely the issues will be ul-
tinateIy decided on strictly party
Zines" He began by saying:
ut is difficult to believe the results
OF investigation will not convince every
Impartial man of the necessity for
some reconstruction of a system which
has remained stationary and unalsered
for more than half Il century While
every other policy has been modified
md adopted TO meet modern require
naents.'
Continuing Chamberlain points out
that the property Of working classes
has Increased In greater proportion In
sprotacted countries than in the Unit
ed Kingdom.
Chamberlain holds that the consoling
theory that Other countries are running
themselves by bounties and import au-
ties hardly comedies with the fact
that British export has been practically
stationary for twelve years, while those
Of other countries have increased so
RAPIDLY that IF the relative progress
continues for few years longer they
will have left us far behind" Dealing
passionately with the accusation thar
his policy is intended to reduce the
ssWorkman and his family TO starva-
eion." Chamberlain writes: Let them
al least admit that rightly or wrong
ly this policy Is propounded In the
interests OF the masses Of the people.
of the poor much more than of the rich
and that those who are responsible fol
q, have earned by strenuous endeayor
in the past the right to resent ths
charge of neglecting the interests OF
the Industrial population

OF Venezuela. He said the only
question of international law involved
was whether strong powers in extort-

tistical war from weak power, have
the right of preferential treatment as a
recompense for their actions, or wheth-
er all creditor nations shall share
