countries where hostile tariffs do not
exist it was the intention to preserve
neutral markets, and at the same time
preserve the interests of the British
colonies on an equal footing It was,
he said, policy intended to maintain
an increased foreign market for Brit
ish manufactures. Protection was an
attempt to keep the home markets
against equal competition from foreign
countries.
Mr.. Balfour said he viewed the in
dustrial conditions in the United
Kingdom with the greatest alarm
He said possibly nations which built
UP industries behind tariff walls were
acting foOlishly, but nevertheless they
did it. and the result undoubtedly was
Injurious to the United Kingdom. Mr..
Ralfour asked was it possible to car.
~ out retaliation unless a general
tariff formed part of the scheme? :?
he declined to commit himself on that
point, but he said what the country
had to make up its mind on was the
question: rs the end at which we
are aiming worth making sacrifice
for?'
Continuing, Mr.. Balfour said that
never had a government been return
ed with larger majority without a
cause which it wanted to carry out.
and without any great personality to
guide it; but he was ready to con-
cede the present government even
