INDIAN MATCH INDUSTRY
NEED OF PROTECTIVE duty (British Official Wirdless.) Rugby, September 1. The Government of India has accepted the recommendation of the Tariff Board that the Indian match industry should be protected by maintaining and converting into a protective duty the present revenue duty of one rupee eight annas per gross. The Government finds a protective duty is necessitated by the existence of an international combine with large financial resources controlling the manufacture and sale of matches in a large part of the world. The adoption by the Swedish Match Company of a policy of supplying the Indian market with matches made in India would require a reconsideration of the duty. _____
