KILOGRAMS.
ST. CROIX STATION.

London, May End. The House #
Commons this evening adopted all the
budget resolutions. In the course of
the debate, free trade members tried
hard to get the Govt. to remove the
war duties Of seven pence or tea and
the one third advalorem duty on motor
cars, clocks, watches, and musical in
struments. The ground taken by the
free traders was that the duties were
imposed in order to effect economy in
tonnage and discourage spending money
for Injuries and that this no longer was
necessary. The Govt resisted all the
appeals, c~ontending there was urgent
for revenue and that it still was ad-
visabIe to prevent expenditures for
luxurips. All amendments proposing
the removal of the duties were rejected.
