DISCUSSION ARISES IN HOUSE OF COMMONS IN cAfaIA OVER MIR. cHAMEERLAN's REFERENCE TO
 COLONIES IN GLASGOW SPEECH.

Ottawa. Ont, October S.--In the house of commons today Mir Monk read from the press statement from the speech of Joseph Chamberlain at Glasgow, in which he said the colonies were prepared to meet Great Britain in return for mod crate preference by reservng to Great Britain the trade which is now enjoyed in the colonies, and also by arranging not with those already in existence in the mother country. MT Monk wanted to know if the government had made any arrangement of this kind at the imperial conference.
 Sir Wilfred Laurier said: 'T have also read MT. Chamberlain's speech, at all events the summary of 1t, which has ap- peared in the press, and I must say that I do not draw from his words the ln- ference which my honored friend has just drawn. I understand MT. Chamberlain was making an argument and not a state ment. He argued that if the British pub lie would give preference to the col- onies. it would be an appeal to the colonies to return a preference, not only In matters which had already been agreed to. but on what might be suggested"
 In regard to the statements made at the conference or elsewhere, they are all contained in the papers submitted by the cabinet ministers at the conference and which were conveyed by the government to the house some time ago.

VARIOUS POLITICAL MEETINGS HELD, BUT so FAR NO ORGAN HE'D ATTEMPT AT A COUNTER COMBINATlO

London. October 9.-The discussion of keen, but so far the liberals have made no organized attempt at a counter com bination. MT. Asquith, the liberal leader, spoke at Cinderford, an iron and coal center in Worcestershire yesterday and in the course of his speech contended that protected countries without taxing food or raw material, and experience showed that retaliation did more harm to the retaliators than to those retaliated. The adoption of MT. Chamberlan's proposals would foment quarrels with the colonies.
 It is calumny on the colonies to say that the unity of the empire was impos- sible without preferential tariffs.
 James Brice. M. P, speaking at Lan- caster. expressed similar opinions and characterized MT. Chamberlan's state ments as grotesque and worthless.
 Gerald Balfour president of the board of trade, addressing a meeting al Leeds, intimated the possibility that after MT. Chamberlain had concluded his mission 1t might be found that the taxation of food was within the range of practical politics.
 Sir Charles Tupper. the Canadian ex- premier, presiding at a meeting in Lon don, expressed his complete approval of MT. Chamberlain's policy.
