began when virrount Elibank asked for an explanation of the term of the proposed louns to planters. said that the proporl to make these loans 300, 000 for the West Indies and 200, 000 to Mauritius was only playing with the position, Lord Passfield, the Colonial Secretary, said the present preference on sugar was costing the Exchequer 2, 500, 000 a year, and he could not hold out any hope that the Govern ment would cast upon the consumers and taxpayers further burdens by giving the industry additional assistance in this direction.
Lord Halisham, the ex Lord Chancellor, after telling the House that he started his commercial life as an overseer on a sugar plantation in Demerara and was afterwards a West Indian merchant, declared that the Government proposals for loans meant that instead of the Colonies suffering immediate extinction they were to be lent, by Government guarrantee, more money which, according to the report of the Royal Commission, they were bound to loss during the next twelve months. more callous brutality has, suppose, seldom disgraced any Gov.
ernment proposals, declared Lord Hailsham. And when we find it coupled with a cynical hypocrisy which professes to view with sympathy the dying struggles of the West Indies, one realises that it is not only this country which has to mourn the coming into office of a Socialist Government. Had the West Indies been in the position of Cuba, or had they been a French possession or the colonies of any other country, they would not have been in their present dire distress. It is a cruel punishment to inflict upon them for their loyalty that a Socialist Government at home should condemn them to utter extinction rather than sacrifice Free Trade principles that they had not begun to understand.
Lord Olivier, chairman of the Commission which was sent to report on the position of the West Indies sugar industry and Secretary for India in the last Socialist Government, also joined in the attack. He said it was not true that the Government could not do anything. The fact was that it did not want to do anything.
The subject then dropped.
