GRAIN men PROTEST
Premier Balfour Receives Big Dele
cation Opposed to the Remis-
sion Of the Grain Tax.
However, He Gave Evidence Of No
Intention to Accede to Their
Demands.

= London, May 15.-Premier Balfour &C.
companied by the chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, Mr.. Richie to-day received q
large and influential deputation of union
ISL members of the house of commons
headed by Mr.. Chaselin,ssa former presi-
dent Of the board of agriculture; members
or theE house of lords and delegates from
the chamber Of commerce and from the
agriculturalist who protested against the
remission of the grain duty. Mr. Ball
tour made a long argument in reply to
the representations of the deputation, but
did not give the slightest indication OF
connecting the demands.
taaW1thout.the-ss slightest intention on the
part Of the government he said the tax
had accidentally given some protection to
the millers,, thus md ectlYaa nd sunexpect-
eddy helping tha aTnssr bM f1,e govern
ment should aots be Alaned N renting
the tax. It was never intended to be a
protective measure. Protection, he said,
could not be introduced silently, as if by
accident. and without broad public in
'dorsement of such a. change in the ma
ttonal policy The premier contended
that Immediately it became clear that the
grain tax divided the two political par
ties Of this country it also became clear
that the tax could not be perma ne1t
part of the fiscal system
He did not intend to say that the nres
emit system was necessarily permanent.
New conditions had arisen since the old
free trade policy was adopted and he
could imagine circumstances under which
Great Britain by way of retaliation would
no longer consent to be made a, passive
target for other countries living under
different conditions: He believed in uni
'versal free trade, but at present every
country except Great Britain was pro-
tected. Great Britain had gained greatly
thereby in many ways 4ssfs
Mr.. Balfour concluded with saving he
would welcome a closer fiscal union of the
mother land and the colonies The move
ment, however, would be extremely diff
hcult to carry out and must come from
the heart. conscience and intellect of the
great masses of the people.
