early history of the Colonies and then
visited Magnolia and Middleton Place
Gardens which annually attract thou
sands of visitors.
Although the gardens are far from
their zenith, which comes later in the
season, Mrs. Hoover and her friends
still found them impressive in their
formal beauty. City officials conducted
the tour.

Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 26.-The swan
song of British free trade was sung in
the House of Commons last night when
it passed, by vote Of 442 to 62, the
bill imposing 10 per cent duty on all
imports into Great Britain, with GER
tain notable exceptions
Isaac Foot, Liberal minister of mines,
and Sir Stafford Cripps, one of the
Labor party's leaders, made final bitter
speeches against the tariffs before the
bill was given third and final aiding.
With royal assent. the measure be-
comes effective as Of next Tuesday.
Cries of Resign! Resign!" were
shouted at Foot when, As minutes be-
fore the ''guillotine" hour, when the
bill had to be out of the way, he arose
and arraigned the imposition of tariffs.
He declared it had been the history of
nations that once a country adopted
tariffs it had sweat blood" before it
could get rid of them.
L regret deeply the passing of a
measure which would place these ancient
shackles upon u.s. he said.
When the government majority Of 38C
votes on final passage was announced
members of the House of Commons
rose to their feet. cheered Neville Cham
berlain. chancellor of the eXchequer
and waved papers at him.
In a sense it was a family victory
since it was his father, Joseph Cham
berlain, who a generation ago fought
so long but vainly to make Britain a
protectionist country.
TIE bill passed on to the House Of
Lords, which will give 1t first reading
today and pass it through the remain
ing stages Monday.
A number Of ships raced to English
ports during the week Just past with
