For this state, of things Mr: Bonar Law is held responsible by many peo- ple, but he is not primarily to blame. The men who have got hold of the party machine have pulled the string and Mr. Bonar Law: had to dance.

Such an argument on the raw materials of industry: . Without food taxes, as the Liberal, newspapers are pointing out, Greab- Britain cannot give any effective pre ference to Canada, imless timber and wood pulp are taxed, and without food taxes Great Britain cannot give preference to Aygtratia unless woo?ie taxed. Great Britir imports virtually nothing from ho'domirrion save food and raw ma and, as Mr. Chamberlain Jong ago, food taxes are essentigl to any scheme for imperial preference.
