An air survey of Rio de Janeiro and the Federal district of Brazil has been completed after three and a half years. By ground methods this survey would have taken 15 years. A statement that there is no justification for the feeling of uncertainty as to possible modifications in the customs tariff was made by the Minister of Finance, the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, at Wellington, when commenting upon the allegation which had been made in certain quarters that importers and business men were holding orders in suspense owing to possible changes in the tariff. No change in customs tariffs, except of course where there are existing ! powers vested in the Government, can be made except by Parliament, and no session is in prospect for several months, he said. The Government will lose no time in bringing before the House the recommendations that result from the inquiry which is to be held, but careful investigation is first required and it is obviously impossible to make any change in the immediate future.
