CHANGES IN TARIFF
Bill to Appear Next Week Tlie Customs Bill incorporating the resolutions embodied in the Ottawa agreement which have already been passed by Parliament, is expected to be brought down early next week. The Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes, said yesterday that the Bill was now practically ready. The Government originally stated that it would delay the introduction of the Bill in order to allow those concerned in the Customs changes to make their representations. Mr. Forbes said very few representations of this kind had been Received, a fact which supported the Government’s belief that the concessions made would be accepted by manufacturers as fair and reasonable. In any case, he said, the agreement with Great Britain had now been ratified by the House and nothing could be done to change it.
