TARIFF REPORT.
BRITISH VIEWPOINT. The report of the Tariff Commission was referred to at yesterday's annual meeting of the United Kingdom Mannfacturers and New Zealand Representatives' Association, by Mr. J. Eislop. He expressed the opinion that the commission appeared to have been more concerned with the needs of revenue than with giving relief to British manufacturer.', even when the giving of such relief would not affect New Zealand industries. Although some reductions had been made in the tariff on British goods the report, in spite of such reductions, did not meet New Zealand's obligations in respect to the Ottawa agreement. Referring to the Reserve Bank, Mr. Hislop paid it bad been hoped that the new note issues would be at parity with sterling, and he trusted the bank would do what Parliament was not prepared to do.
Officers were elected as follow:— President, Mr. J. Hislop; vice-president, Mr. N. Heath; executive, Messrs. J. C. Entrican, C. Heath, J. Howie, H. D. Guthrie, H. W. Shackelford, A. Brooker and W. G. Douglas.
