WANTS TAXES CUT
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SPOKESMAN CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 18. Mr J. R. Dench, president of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce, at the annual meeting of the Chamber to-night said: At present we have servicemen coming back from overseas, some of them expecting their former positions back, only to find that, through taxation and other difficulties and hindrances, their positions are not available for them. We feel that the time has come for, the Government to state quite definitely and in clear terms what is expected of private enterprise, and just what the Government expects to leave to the State machine. We feel that it is a matter of great urgency and not a matter which can wait for the next election. Many branches of industry and business are standing still because they are awaiting directions from the powers that be. We feel we have a very good case and until the Government states its intentions and gives relief there is little that can be done about it.
