WILL FIGHT BRITISH
ANTI-GOUGING BILL
Opposition Leaders Say Meas
ure Fails to Kill Cause of
High Prices.


LONDON, Aug. 10.--Great Brtain's
hastily conceived anti-prohteering bill
is not to be made into law by the House
of Commons without serious opposition
from the Independent and Liberal mem
bers. Notices OF objection already have
been given, based upon the fact that
the bill does nothing to remove the basic
causes OF high prices
George Thorne, the Independent
Liberal whip. and Stanley Holmes, who
are the principal DIRECTORS, believe that
thes bill should be rejected because ii
sets up wasteful. cumbrous and ineffec-
tive machinery TO deal with an offence
which is not clearly defined, but d.
rected mainly against the small re-
taller, and declare that 1t fails to check
or to penalize the powerful interests
which are alleged to be exploiting the
country by exacting exorbitant profits
on articles of general consumption.
The bill. the text OF which was issued
Friday night. makes no attempt to de-
fine profiteering. As first outlined by
the Board of Trade 1t was proposed to
establish tribunals In every community
with power to sit In judgment upon
those charged with profiteering and in
flict punishment or impose fines. This
is modified by the bill, which provides
that the local committees shall not i'm
pose punishment but must remit the
cases to a court of summary jurisdiction
The committees are not to be obligatory
but may be appointed at the will OF the
community.
Discussing the Governments new
venture the current issue of the Nation
declares that Premier Lloyd George is
barking up the wrong tree II he thinks
he can reduce high prices by a threat
Of punishment. 1t adds:
III the Government thinks the in
auguration of local and central tribunals
will stop Industrial unrest 1t is living in
a FOOLS paradise. sPrices will continue
to rise because of the inevitable opera
tion of economic laws. The Government
first must cease its own profiteering"
