LORD ROTHERMERE
 OUTLINES POLICIES
United Empire Party Against
 Surrender to Indians

London, March f (P}-Lord Roth crmcre in today's Daily Mail enun- ciated the policy of the new British political party toward India, declar- ing: The United Empire party stands for no more surrender to h. dan agitators."
 We should not allow tho lives If 70. 900, 900 Indians to be ruined by the folly of handful of excited na- tonalists,' said Lord Rothcrmer". For these nationalists do not amount to one per cent of the coul- try's people,"
 The article criticizcs the action cf Lord Irwin, the yiceroy, in making a rash promise of dominion statIs which 1t says has been misinter- preted as a definite pledge by the agitators.
 India will not be ready for self government for generations" COL tinued Lord Rothermere, and in my opinion Britain is adopting a policy of propitiation and conce ession to clamor, which has always proved q fatal course in the east where concession is invariably deemed a sure sign of weakness"

BALDWIN WANTS
 TAX REFERENDUM
Has Steadily Refused to Call
 Food Levy Party Policy

London. March LP) - Stanley Baldwin, leader of the conservatives. taking hand in the political con- troversy over tariff policy for the British Empire, has suggested the suitability of d referendum by the country whether it would permit the taxation of food in pursuance of q policy looking toward empire eco- homie unity.
 One of the principal arguments against the free trade within the empire policy advocated by the new United Empire party fathered by Lord Beaverbrook and Lord Roth- ermere, is the assertion it would in- volve the taxation of food from out Britain.
 Former Premier Baldwin, as leader Of the regular conservatives, has steadfastly declined to consider food taxation as part of the con- servative party policy. Addressing meeting of the council of the National Union of Conservatives and Unionist associations today, he de- clared this food taxation question should be taken out of party politics and the only way to do this would be by a referendum which should be taken ependently so as not to in- yolve the fate of any government.
 MT. Baldwin made it clear he was strongly in favor of empire cco- homie unity, but pointed to the difficulties in the way of achieving 1t.
 "The first business that will lie before us if we are returned to power. will be to summon unCondi- tionalIy g. conference of the empire to discuss these economic subjects and get something done" he said,
 "The dominions could not be die tated to- said Mr. Baldwin, adding Tt is for us to meet in an at mosphere of perfect freedom and If, as result of those discussions, there should emerge any form ot agreement, arrangement, treaty. whatever you like to call it-that does give us great benefits and that demands in return a tax on some article of food from 8 foreign coun- try-that whole question can clear ly be put before our people,

 Some organization of promoters would help in the solution of most of boxing problems" Bruen said. As matters stand now, d boxer barred in one state can cross the line and fight in another. Ii the promoters were to organize that would not be possible"
 Bruen said he did not believe that fining a boxer was sufficient deter rent to the prevailing foul evil,
 The proposal to make fighters so on fighting, after a brief rest, even if struck low probably will arouse opposition." Bruen agreed. But it will just be a nineday wonder and then it will be forgotten. Just as radical changes have | been necessary III sports DtlOTe' III | baseball, we had the foul ev!l, which was remedied by calling tic l first two foul balls strikes. Before that time, a batter would stand IT there and fohl off balls all after noon.
 When the rule calling the first two fouls strikes went into effect there was a great commotion of pro test. But it didn't last long and soor the fans came to accept it.
 We are going to have to make i just q such a radical change in box ing to prevent these fighters wht i quit upon the slightest low blow ruining the game. It won't take lont for the fight fans to back us up"
