The Foreign Minister, Lord Lansdowne, SAID
he did not wish to disagree with the practlcai
point Lord Goschen had raised namely, TO act
with extreme caution before committing them
selves to a radical departure from free traoe
principles He wished it to be clearly under
stood that the government had not proposed any
measure to the country. The plan put forward
was not one TO which any member of the gov
ernment was committed. 1t had been broached
simply because the signs of the times showed
that such a discussion would soon be lneVltaple'
1t was impossible after the resolution passed py
the colonial conference to brush those sug-
gestions lightly aside. The government was
going into the investigation with a perfectly
OMEN mind If it collected statistics IT would not
be with the object of supporting any particular
thesis or theory.
The debate showed that there little SYM
nathv among the members of the upper cham-
her with the Colonial Secretary's plan but sew
eral peers declared themselves in favor OF d ols-
cussion of the subject.
Lord Balfour of Burleigh Secretary Tor Scot
land said he considered that the matter was
worthy of the attention OF the most ardeit liee
+rader though personally he had no expectation
that the inquiry would show 1t TO pc elther
practicable or desirable.
The Duke of Devonshire failed to understand
vhy any one should object to an inquiry ana

Cabinet Ministers the subject. Lord Goschen
asked the Duke of Devonshire. Lord president
of the Council, to speak as frankly on this SUB

that the whole question rested upon the tax
alton of food He considered that the colonies
were asking infinitely more than they them
selves were prepared to give. and dwelt on the
difficulties which the taxation of food wouid
create and the danger of tieing Great Britain s
hands by an agreement with the colonies in
volving such taxation. He challenged the state
nlent that higher wages would result therefrom
and said the whole scheme was gamble with
food and the people. and hoped that the Duke
OF Devonshire would tell the House that he had
