§ 8. Sir ROBERT CLOUGHasked the President of the Board of Trade if the commercial classes of this country always receive the earliest possible warning of tariff changes contemplated by other countries so that, if any countervailing representations can be made, they shall be made before such tariffs have practically reached completion; and, if not, will he ensure this being done in future?
§ Mr. BALDWINOur missions abroad are under instructions to report at once particulars of all contemplated tariff changes, and any important information which is received from this and other sources is published as soon as it is received in the "Board of Trade Journal."
