POLL-TAX ON GERMANS
(IT TBWORAPH— PIUSS ASSOCIAH6N.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. At a meeting of the General Committee of the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association., the President (Mr. W. Hay ward) referred to the loss of the Lusitania. He felt that the Germans had for ever forfeited all claim to be considered or treated as civilised people. In New Zealand they should institute a boycott on all German goods, it was the only elfective weapon they had. So strongly did he resent this outrage that he would be strongly inclined to impose a tax of £500 a head on all Germans seeking admission.
