Asquith éZ-ys Liberals land Labor Will Abolish Duties.

(United Press.)

LONDON. Dec. 2.—-’l‘lie forth- coming general election has a vit- al interest for Canadian manufac- turers, not only because. of future benefits it may bring if the Bald- win tarlff policy is endorsed, but because it will do away with past advantages if it is not. So much was made clear in a campaign speech to-night by Mr. Asquith. while discussing the llfcKenna dut- ies. These are duties under which Canada has been able to build up an enormous export trade in auto- mobiles to Britain and do a con- siderable trade in refined sugar.

Asquith said definitely tonight that the duties had been imposed in 1915 only to limit the importa- tion of luxuries. Their abolition would e one of the first duties of a Liberal or Labor Government.

When the Liberal leader's asser- tion is contrasted with the state- ment by Baldwin to-night that he honed that the tariffs would mean that. the Canadian manufacturers would be one of the first duties of ports as against the United Stat- es‘ manufacturers. and with the statement of his Chancellor of the Exchequoi this evening that the time might come when the imposi- t_ioii of tariffs on foodstuffs could. with a view to Dominion develop- ment, be considered by the Gov- rnineiit. it will be seen that. poli- tics aside, Canadian manufactur- ers. and even farmers can scarce- ly fall to follow the fortunes of tlie political campaign with 31111051

(Canadian Preil.) LONDON, Dec. 2.-—Creat Bri tain's opposing political armies of protection and free trade had a final resting today iii preparation for three strenuous fighting days before Thursday next when ap- proximately eighteen nilliion elec- tors in England. Scotland and Wai- es and Northern Ireland will go to the polls for the third general election since the war. All forecasts of results have been extremely cautious and even those political prognostfcutors who seem certain that the present gov- ernment will be returned are not at all sure that its majority in the House will be sufficient to put through its program of tariff re- form, the issue which brought. about the dissolution of parliament and an appeal to electors. On gen oral lines the return of the Conser- vative government with a work- able inajorlty in the House of Commons means the beginning of a tariff wail around Great Britain.
