FARMERS' PULL
TARIFF POLICY. PRESSURE ON GOVERNMENT. SENCjOrCED IN" DUKEDIN". (By Telegl^ph.—Special to "Star.") DUNEDIN, this day. Strong criticism of the New Zealand Farmers' Union and other farming interests in their attitude towards tariffs was made by Mr. James Hogg, president, at a meeting of the Dunedin Manufacturers Association. In the face of official pronouncements, he said, it was amazing to find that the Farmers' Union hoped to bring pressure to bear upon the Government by the] signing of a petition seeking a reduction of the Customs tariff, with a view to the eventual abolition of protective tariffs. Mr. Hogg said that most people in the Dominion recognised that the tariff issue should be left to the Commission and to Parliament, and that the views of all sections of the community, and not of one section only, shQuMreeeiveconsideration. At a meeting of the Farmers Union terms such as the iniquitous tariff" had been used.- That sort of thin D at present was to be condemned.
