COTTON MEN
+, AROUSED BY
GOVT ACTION
Manufacturers in Lanca.
shire Declare Protective
Tariff Means Disaster.

London, April 2.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)-The worlds
greatest cotton manufacturing COM
munity. Lancashire. is tremendously
aroused by the action Of the govern
mont Of India in placing a protective
tariff on cotton goods. The spokes-
men for h cotton interests call it q
disaster. and declare that 1t will prove
the worst hardship the industry has
suffered since the blockade Of the
southern states during the American
civil war. Entirely without warning
to them came the announcement by
Sir William Meyer, the financial Sec
retaryi of India. of a straight duty
OF Jour per cent which operates
against other parts of the British. en-
pire as we'll as against foreigners.
That the object Of this Increased
ton Of 100, 900 pounds which In
dia will make toward the war expen-
ses Of the United Kingdom doe not
seem to soften the blow. Sir William
Meyer announced that this step had
been taken with the approval Of the
home government, and when mem
bers Of the house Of commons pro-
secretary for India, informed them
that the new rate had already gone
into effect.
The Indian cotton trade is one Of
England's most important and most
carefully nurtured commercial assets.
Lancashire imports yearly some TO-
100000 pounds worth of cotton from
mills turn out about 10000 900
pounds worth of finished fabrics. In
the last year before the war 81, 0OO,-
900 pounds worth was absorbed by
the Indian market. China has been
Lancashire's second best foreign Gus
toner, but Japanese competition has
been steadily absorbing the Chinese
markets during the past few years,
and has also been gaining ground in
India. Lancashire's chief rival has
been the cotton mills of Bombay, but
for twenty a the Lancashire ex-
porters have enjoyed practical free
trade with India. To insure this stu
alton, and, at the same time, produce
revenue the Indian tariff of 1-2
per cent had been balanced by an ex-
else tax Of 3 1-2 per cent on domestic
without any advantage over the i'm
ported. Now the government Of In
dia by raising the tariff to Z 1-2 per
cent, without any increase of the ex-
else taxes. gives the native factories
a protection of four per cent.
this reversal OF policy the
lloyd George government and the
government Of India, between them
have set ablaze a controversy
smouldering for many years which
concerns the basic principles Of Brit.
tsh colonial rule, and have kindled
it at an hour when tariffs are politi.
cal firebrands.
Mr.. Chamberlain in the house o,
commons justified the new duties b,

600, 1000 pounds to the costs Of tn,

Commerce replied Immediately b,
