Tariff Board Investig- ation ‘Looms As’ Commons Passes Tariff Reduction.

(0. P. By Guardian's special Wire)

UITAWA, May 22—A tariff board investigation into the farm implement industry loomed tonight. when Finance Minister Dunning told the House of Commons he would welcome an application from the manufacturers.

Over protests from Toronto con- servatives. the House passed the implement schedules in the budget, reducing the tari1f from 12 1-2 to 1 1-2 per cent. The debate cut sharply along political lines with Liberals defending the duty reduc- tlons and Conservative attacking them.

Conservative leader Bennett sug- gested the tariff board hearing along the same lines as the gaso- line and automobile probes. He said he was unable to Judge whether a tariff of 7 1-2 per cent was suf- iiclent.

If the industry wanted an inves- tigation all it had to do was apply, said Mr. Dunning. He would wel- come one so the government would have facts and flgurrs befom it next session on which to review tariffs.

Mr. Bennett said the duty should be left unchanged at least until all parties had been given a fair chance to be heard. There could be no objection to the government paying counsel to represent the farmers at a. tariff board inquiry.

Mr. Dunning said if the imple- ment manufacturing industry want- ed a tariff board iiiqulry all it had to do was ask for it. In framing the budget the 80vemment had no tariff board report on implements as it had in the case of gasoline. It had to use the usual govern- ment machinery and fixed the duti- at 1 1-1 per cent, which in its judgment was proper.

This figure, he said. was not me low as the six per cent duty in effect when the Liberals left office in 1930. Most of the supporters of the government wanted the duty cut to at last six per cent. While a tariff board inquiry was desir- able before major tariff changes were made the principle should apply both ways and Mr. Bennett had raised the tariff in use with- out any tariff board inquiry.

LONDON. May 22-—J. ll. Thom- as, whose legendary career carried him from engine wiper to a place in the cabinet. nu tonight as Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Ilia resignation came exactly one month after rumors of the alleged “budget leak" first became current. It was accepted by Primelvllnlatcr Baldwin, who wrote his colleague in the National government that he had "acted as I should have done in your place."

The ministers resignation was lhanded in May 20, the day the Judicial tribunal headed by Mr. Justice Porter concluded its hear- ings on the circumstances sur- irounding the "-at-Ininute rush for

“The Right I-lcnoiirable J. H. -‘Ihomas, P.C.. Secretary of state for the Colonies, having tendered his resignation, His Majesty, the King has been graciously pleased to accept it."

Thomas’ letter to Mr. Baldwin. dated May 20, read:

My dear Prime Minister:

"I understand the tribunal today finished its public sittings and will therefore proceed at once to con- sider its report. Before, however. the report is known and without any regard to what it may contain I feel it is my duty for reasons which I will state to send you my resignation from the government."
