PREFERENTIAL TARIFF
Is the Great Question in the British
House of Commons.

- AAC GucSthOn IN LnG bf1N1Sn
House of Commons.
London, June 1.-THE whole evening
session of the House of Commons to-
day was occupied with the discussion of
eral leader. Sir Henry Campbell Ban
herman, in order to obtain further light
regarding the governments position on
the preferential tariff question. The
motion was finally rejected by 252
votes to 1872.
While the opposition was scarcely
more successful than heretofore in
drawing the government into a discus
sion of the general scheme of prefer
entail trade within the empire, Premier
Balfour and Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain emphatically declared that the
government of New South Wales was
under no misrepresentation regarding
the attitude of the home government
and in fact the cabinet as a whole
thoroughly agreed with the sentiments
of Vice Admiral Lawson, Governor OF
New South Wales, whose dispatch con-
corning the attitude of the New South
Wales government was the cause for
to-day's debate.
Except as being an attack upon Ger
many, Mr.. Cham berlain's speech was
a repetition in more convinced and
forcible terms of his previous speeches
He made great point in showing that
the mere talk of a change in Great
Britain's fiscal policy had already pro-
duced a change of tone in the German
newspapers, which no longer talked of
retaliation, the object of which he said
was less to punish Canada than to
read lesson to any British colony dar-
ing to discriminate in favor of the
mother country"
The result of to-day's debate Is rec
ognized as a great personal triumph
for Mr.. Chamberlain
