AUSTRALIAN TARIFF
WILL NOT STAGGER AMERICANS PROPOSED FILM TAX AND BRUCE’S DEFEAT. Naw York, December 7. The “Sun," in a leader on Australia's rising tariff, said: “Certain American exports are expected to be affected by the Australian tariff increases. but the evidence now available indicates that the blow will not be staggering. Australians of means, who have a strong preference for American cars, as opposed to cars of other foreign makes, will continue buying them and will pay for the privilege.” The leader concludes with some comment upon Mr J. H. Scullin’s proposed tax on synchronised sound films and stresses the fact that Mr S. M. Bruce’s defeat was partly due to a similar amusement tax.
