PROTECTION
HAS IT FAILED?
PREMIER THINKS SO. ILLUSTRATION FROM VICTORIA. «Y CABbl -PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT Received 11.15 a.m. to-day. MELBOURNE, Sept. 27. For the year 1926-27, Victoria imported goods from overseas valued at £55,598,000 and the exports amounted to £84,600,000, leaving an adverse trade balance of nearly" £29,000,000. To this must be added interest charges on money borrowed to enable these purchases to be made, amounting to £2,500,000. The Hon. Mr Hogan, Premier, says that lie had been led to think that protection had failed, the two main reasons being profiteering by manufacturers and the disloyalty of the people in buying imported in preference to Australian goods.
