“PROTECTION”
NEW ZEALAND’S DECISION APPREHENSION CREATED. IN THE MOTHERLAND.
(by TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION. WELLINGTON, Nov. 19. The decision of the New Zealand and Austi'alian Governments to increase from 25 to 75 per cent the proportion of British labour and material required before preference is granted was received at Home with much apprehension. It is contended that m such articles as paper at least 60 per cent, must be imported into England in the form of wood pulp before paper can be manufactured. It is also pointed out that woollen goods are largely made from colonial wool, and, while New Zealand recognises this, Australia does not. To meet the case as regards paper, the Minister of Customs has decided that until April 1, 1926, paper wholely made in Great Britain or other British possessions from foreign pulp shall be exempted.
