AUSTRALIAN TARIFF
BOARD TO STUDY EFFECT ON INDUSTRY PROVISION AGAINST DUMPING jfly Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright Melbourne, July 7. Mr. Massv Greene, Minister of Trade and Customs, moved the second reading of a Bill to appoint a Tariff Board to study the incidence of tariffs and their relationship to industry, with the object of encouraging Australia’s secondary industries. The proposal aims at adjusting future tariffs on more intelligent and ecientific lines than at present. The Tariff Board will consist of three members —one from, the administrative staff of the Customs Department and two outsiders. Mr. Massy Greene also moved a resolution to deal with dumping, which was later embodied in the Anti-Dumping Bill. It provides against dumping in Australia of goods bought at an export price less than the fair market value at the time of shipment, and of goods affected by the exchange value of currency of tho country of origin when they are sold to the importer at a price detrimental to Australian industry. Tn such cases dumping duties are to be levied. —Fiess Assn.
