AUSTRALIAN TARIFF
AMERICAN PROTESTS (United Press Association. —Copyright.) NEW YORK, 6th January. A large number of inquiries and protests have been received by the local Australian Customs office from American manufacturers as a result of proposed tariff revisions. Piano manufacturers, particularly those exporting an instrument to Australia that sells at approximately £40 f.0.b., point out that the new duties will practically double the cost of this instrument, and will virtually forbid exporting. They moreover protest against the imposition of larger rates for piano parts, stressing the point that Australia, while manufacturing pianos, does not make parts. Silk stockings and gramophone disc- manufacturers are among those making inquiries, tlie last-named complaining of the resultant doubling of prices due to the new duties.
