MR. MASSEY'S PROTEST
MUCH ATTENTION AROUSED
THE MOTOE-CAR INDUSTRY. (DNITBD PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CAItLB ASSOCIATION.) (Received 16th June, 9 a.m.) LONDON, 15th June. Mr. Massey's protest against the issue of preference certificates to goods not wholly of British, manufacture has attracted much, attention, and manufacturers are inquiring whether Teforms are possible. Makers of motor-cars point out that the tightening of the conditions 'at issue would benefit the British trade by' shutting out Canadian cars partly manufactured in America, a matter in which the firms declare Australia, is also interested.
Mr. Massey's protest, made in Auckland last week, was not against preference being accorded to goods "not wholly of British manufacture;" but against the system of regarding as British those products which contain 25 per cent, of British work. He said he thought that even 50 per cent, was insufficient, and was of opinion that the amount of British work required to entitle goods to preference should be 75 per cent.
