Licensing, not tariffs
The National Party must place a much greater emphasis on import licensing? rather than tariffs, the presi-j dent of the Canterbury I Manufacturers’ Association' (Mr L. G. Davison) said last? evening. Speaking at the annual, meeting of the association,; which was attended by the l eader of the Opposition (Mr Muldoon), Mr Davison said: “It is surely recognised that a change to tariff protection goes against the tide of trading practice around the globe. “Many countries advocating freer international trade have had to reintroduce various quantitative controls to protect some of their domestic industries. "We contend that the best interests of New Zealand m the k-ng term can be served only by a system of import control in combination with: tariffs. “The need of each indus-| try must be considered on its? merits, and, where it can be demonstrated that a tariff will not provide the security; necessary to develop a newi industry, import control must be retained.” he said.
