DUTIES UNALTERED
NAILS AND WHITE LEAD IN OIL
Notification of action taken by Order in Council to maintain the present duties in respect of nails and white lead in oil for a further year, that is, until October 31, 1939, is given in the Gazette issued last evening.
When the tariff was revised in 1934 provision was made for the aboMtion of the duty under the British preferential tariff on these articles after October 31, 1936. In view of trade discussions then pending with the United Kingdom, steps were taken in July, 1936, to extend the duties until October 31, 1937. A further extension of one year, until October 31, 1938, was arranged in October, 1937, after the return of the Minister of Customs (the Hon. W. Nash) from abroad, the negotiations with the United Kingdom not having been completed.
The Hon. Mark Fagan, acting for Mr. Nash, stated yesterday that these negotiations were not yet finalised and the extension now provided for had been arranged in order that the question of duties on such goods might be considered at the time when the tariff on United Kingdom goods is under review.
