PROTECTION MISSING THE MARK
VICTORIAN PREMIER BLAMES MANUFACTURERS AND BUYERS.
<By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.30 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. For the year 1926-27 Victoria imported goods from overseas valued at. £53,598,000- and her exports amounted to £34,600,000, leaving an adverse trade balance of nearly twenty-one mil- , lio'ns. To this must be added interest ! charges on money borrowed to enable these, purchases to be made, amounting to two and a-half millions. Mr Hogan, the State Premier, says lie is led to think that protection has failed, the two main reasons being the profiteering by manufacturers and the disloyalty of people in buying imported in preference to Australian goods.
