CURRENT COMMENT
The Tory Split In England.

It would be difficult TO imagine a more COM
plete political disaster than that which has
suddenly overtaken the British Tory party. A
few weeks ago the Conservative journals were
pointing to the snap" defeat of the Asquith
government as a promise of speedy return to
power. To-day leading Tory organs are demand
ing the resignation of Mr.. A. Bonar Law, the
Unionst leader and the voting seems the
brink OF a split clearly recalling the Repub-
lican- Bull Moose schism
The difficulty is due to a recent speech made
by Mr.. A. Bonar Law upon the subject of tarlR
reform The Unionist party advocates imposi-
ton of duties which shall permit reciprocal tariff
preferences between the British kingdom and
the colonies But this necessarily includes duties
uron food imports, since these practically
all the exports from the colonies to England.
tariff upon food supply is not popular with
the electorate, and before the last general cleo
party If successful to impose no such food
duties until after they had been accepted by
a referendum.
The Tories were defeated and their presen,
contention is that the defeat extinguished tho
pledge. The necessity of getting rid of the pledge
is clear, because If the British electorate at
such a referendum voted against food duties all
basis of negotiations with the colonies would be
destroyed. Accordingly Mr. A. Bonar Law now
proposes that the question of food duties shall
be decided at an imperial conference by the
colonies themselves.
Unfortunately the substitute is equally unsatis
factory to the extreme imperial preference wing
Of the Unonist party and to the opponents of
food duties To permit the colonies to decide
whether the food supply of England shall he
taxed by import duties Ia not an appealing pro-
ject to the general public. On the other hand,
the extreme Tories of the imperial preference
school insist that there must be dallyIng with
the question that this is the main policy Of the
Unionist party.
| Mr. Laws champions their side assert that
the main issue at the moment is the defeat
| Of the Asquith ministry on its home rule, Welsh
Church and Lloyd George legislation They
concede that If the next election is fought on
the tariff issue the Liberals may win and then
| all three projects viii be enacted into law and
all opportunity TO oppose them lost. BY Mr..
] Laws scheme they assert. the tariff question
would be postponed and thus eliminated from
the next general election.
AS for the Liberals, their elaton knows no
bounds For a year they have been steadily los
ing ey-eections and their future seemed hope
less Now they have seized upon the dilemma
of the Tories eagerly grasped food taxes as the
issue Of the next election. joined the fac
ton of Tories in decrying the bad faith Of the
Law proposal and accepted the food tax policy
as the real statement of the Tory purpose. AL

THE IMPORTANT AND uNiMroRTANT.

To refuse to consider an argument oased
on a question OF fact depending for accept
ance upon the statement of one in whom con
6dence cannot be placed is matter of COM
mon sense. To refuse to accept CONCLUSION
inevitably drawn from certain facts because
ar unprincipled man happened to dra" the
same conclusion is exhibition OF fooilsh-
ness.

shows a mind closed TO information. The
