AUSTRALIAN TRADE.
SERIOUS POSITION. PROPOSED SUPER TAX. Received March 11, 11.5 a.m. CANBERRA, March 11. It is understood that serious consideration has been given by the Federal Ministry to the proposal to impose an all round super tax on all items in the tariff schedule. The step would be drastic, but in view of the serious trade position it is thought in certain quarters that such action should be taken. It is rumoured that the supertax might even be as high as ten or fifteen per cent.
