AUSTRALIAN TARIFF
TREATMENT ACCORDED BRITISH KNITWEAR RESENTMENT EXPRESSED IN ENGLAND (Rec. January 31, 5.5 p.m.) London, January 30. The Hosiery Joint Industrial Council passed a resolution expressing surprise and resentment at the vindictive treatment which the Australian tariff accorded to British knitwear, the duties ranging from 150 to 600 per cent., which is tantamount to a prohibition against Importation. Therefore the suggestion that valuable preferences are still offered is unwarranted. The council adds that British industry’s claims for consideration as an important customer for Australian raw materials and products have been ruthlessly ignored, therefore it is only natural that the trade should in its own interests seek to obtain its requirements from sources where the value of reciprocity is more highly appreciated than in the Commonwealth.
