seems open for India to do something
for herself. her own capitalists and
contractors find that they must give
way to their British competitors.
This is one of the grievances that is
reflected in political agitation. 1t is
also one reason why there is always so
potential an influence in England
matter whether the party in power be
the liberals or the unionists.
The imperial council, when it comes
to the scheme of trade preference, will
have to consider the whole question of
British Indian policy. The basis of
imperial preference, as it now exists,
is that the self-governing colonies
make their own tariffs. Heretofore
they have not brooked even sugges-
ton from London in regard to the
schedules. They have Disseminated in
favor of the United Kingdom as against
other countries, but have protected
their own industries even as against
the United Kingdom
India has had no such freedom of ac-
ton. Her tariff has been made indi-
rectly, but none the less determinedly
in England When Joseph Chamber
lain put forth his crude scheme of inn
perial preference. some British officials
in India advocated including that de-
tendency. The tariff commission, which
was the name of the partisan organiza-
tion that was founded on Chamber
lan's scheme. included in its publica-
tion some reports from India, but the
leaders in the movement gave no en-
couragement to the suggestion. The
