i THE DUTY ??1. ¡ BEEH. I ) —— '—— I WHAI IHE HA 110M W!LL LOSE AS A I HESLL DEBAIE IN CBMMM& In Committee on the Finance Bill, in the House of Commons yesterday, Mr. Lloyd George announced & provisional re-! bate tc brewers on the new beer duty. He said he had been in comnnrâca.tion I with the brett ing tn.de and the CousideriDg tUB h(>.i!j' increase 'n the b.eer ctury, .h& thought the way in which the trade had accepted, not the actual figare, hue the iaet that they must he; prepared to iace a cosiderable in'rease of dULy, was very gratifying. The trade had submitted to the Govern- ment: d<-i.a-:iEd account 8hoYfmg that it the duty of J7;<. 3d. were imposed, it would be impossible for them, even they adopted the addition of a halfpenny! a haif-pm., to carry on thetr' busi!l.eBt3 without vf'ry severe loss, in some cases in- vnivtiig bankraptc.y.

With tha compul-ory curtailment uf! ope):mg and the inevitable reduction iuj the ccBsuutption. due to the fact that oae or two ol nic'n WUUitl cross the Channel in the next few "months, the Uovcrnmeiit, had come to the conclusion that it w.-iuid be impossible for the trade J fcr a ye.ir or two, to Hfh'pt itsptf to the! dsiNt.nd made on they thought. 17s. 3d. wu.s perfectly iair as a ::tandal'd, thc'y considered that some relief should bo grajiif,(i for the hrst! threu years, so as to give t!io trade tune to cut down estahh'-itjuciit: eha'gps, to make economies, and generally to put itself ir.to a position, to meet thi9 in- erea3ed charge. They, therefore, proposed that on-. vm'd to Mureh 31, 19lit, tfiere should be a rebate o. 2s. n. barret, aud in the year eudtTtg March a rebate of Is.] After that date the mil duty would be' charged, j It must he remembered that this vas a fiscal proposal for raising money for thej WH.r. and they were bound to consider it) from that point of view; but the Gove-,n-I ment desired to raise the money without I doing- injury to any particular trade. Tl!e i jlcube of Commons had deliberately! drawn a distinction between the lighter and heavier beers, because they wauced to encourage the ligbte:' beers, aud he would be loath .L.i11self to alter that principle in the slightest degree and to take away the iBdaeempnt <? the publican to push his lighter beer. Burden Too Heavy. Mr. Chamberlain. C., W. Birmicgham, thcug'h.t the burden 10 be placed on the !-rade was heavier than the trade could iairly be asked to pny. The effect or the incteased price {of beer would he a great, fall in consumption, &-ad t1mt would materially affect the publicans' profits. For a geiifratioji, and jnaybe for ,two gen- orations, we should still be paying part! of the cost of this war, and therefore thev ro.ust not put Üj] a tax under the impres- sicn that it would last for only a ye&r or 'iAVO. Mr..T. JT. Thc-mas (Lab., Derby) hoppd the. decrease irt the consumption of beer would conHaue. The tax was another illustration nf the unfair way in T.-hich burdens were placed on the poorer r As sooB as the new duty of l<s. :}d., now 1.5s. 3d., waa placed on beer 6rei,;(-t-s gave their customers notice that thcv would be charged an extra il a barrel, aud the publican put on a half- penny a halt-pint, which capie to ,£1 2s. 3d. a barrel, out of which the Exchequer received only 15; 3d. Clause 2 was agreed to, and Clauses 3. 4, 5, 6 aud 7 were added to the BiJL Hours of Opening. On Clause 8, which provides for a re- duction of licpnse duty where the hours of opening are c¡.urtu.iled. Sh- George Younger moved an amend- pru\J<!mg that the clausp 8hould &TM)iy to off-licenses a6 well as to <m- licenSES. This was neg.\tived without a divlSiou Air. Lloyd Geor?e moved a. new sub- 's--t.loH providing that "the amount of any duty repaid ''T unnwcd under thaw section shaH in 110 ca.i-c exceed c.ne-.out'tn part of the whole duty payah'e by thc lic'-use holder m rc.ptct of his license.

The committee agreed to an amendment moved by the Attorney-Genei-al to permit supei-tax. payers to pay the sum rmposcd I by insta-lments. Teetota!Eeer. I Mr. Aneurm Williams (L, ? W. DuT- ha-co) moved a UÐW clause providing that a drawback of 24--5. shoa'd be paid forj every 36 gallons of heer de-aleholified to produca a beverage containing not morf than 2 per cent. of prod spirit, and that for the purpose of such dp-alcholisa-! tici) it should be lawful to distil spirit on the br"ery premisca. The object of the clause, he said, Tvus to e'nT'ouragQ the! production of Ü,;mpcrancc r. Mr. Montagu said the amendment 'P-2M hardly apfuopriate to an emergency Budget, azio would niean a very big change of fiscal poiiey, sioce beor was Bot at present taxed on its alcoholic j content, but on its The <'Iause was withdrawn, and thp Bill, l\"Íth amendments, was reported to j the B'cu&e.
