TARIFF COMMISSION
DUTY AGAINST AUSTRALIA. [PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, Jnly 17. Before the Tariff Commission, this morning, Mr C. B. Willis asked, on behalf of John Duthie and Co., Ltd., for 20 per cent, tariff against Australian galvanised iron or plain black iron and tin worked steel. He said that at present Australia was on the free list for these products, enjoying the same privilege as the United Kingdom. In view of the tact that the United Kingdom gave free entry to New Zealand’s products, it was only right that Britain should enjoy a preference over a country not extending this facility to the Dominion. Mr McHardy Forman, managingdirector of General Motors, asked the tariff to be so framed as to take into consideration the amount of labour and materials expended in assembling knocked-down cars for the market, as against the amount of labour required to assemble a car imported complete.
