Excerpt from The New Tariffism Already in their First Interim Report, issued in November 1916, the Committee showed how their inquiry was thereby deflected. Instead of taking any of the special issues set to them, they dwelt upon the widespread desire for some early and definite statement of the intentions of His Majesty's Government as to the treatment of imports into the United Kingdom from the present enemy countries in the period immediately following the conclusion of the war. Obviously the very policy in question must to some extent turn upon the view taken as to Reference (a) which is, in brief What are the vital key industries and what should be done about them? But the Committee, taking the Paris Proposals to be virtual enactments, and entirely dis regarding the express stipulation therein made that all the Entente Powers remained free to apply them with regard to the principles which govern their economic policy, took for granted a change in our fiscal policy. The Committee indeed professed merely to assume that our Government will decline to enter into any arrangement which would deprive them of complete freedom to treat goods from [enemy] countries in such a manner as they might deem expedient at any given time. It is tolerably safe to say that no State, unless thoroughly defeated, will bind itself in perpetuity by any commercial treaty; and even if it did it would pre sumably hope in time to be able to renounce the compelled arrangement. But the Committee really went much further than that. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
