IMPORT DUTIES ACT
IRISH FREE STATE GOODS. DE VALERAITEB WERE PREPARED FOR THE WORST. (United Press Association—By CableCopyright.) (Received 27, 1.30 p.m.) London, Oct. 26. It was explained authoritatively tonight that though’ the new Ottawa duties will not be levied on Irish Free State goods they will be subjected from November 15 to a flat rate of ten per cent, under the Import Duties Act. This will be additional to the 25 per cent, special duties charged on some goods to recover the retained land annuities. Thus, butter, which concerns Australia and New Zealand, and most other dairy products will be liable to duties aggregating 30 per cent. The Free State Ministers refuse to comment on the situation. Other De Valeraite members of the Dail declare that they are not in the least surprised. They were prepared for the worst.
