TOBACCO INDUSTRY.
Per Press Association. NELSON, Aug. 5. The proposal of the Government to increase the import and excise duties on cut and other tobacco while not dealing with item 81 of the tariff has caused considerable consternation and agitation among tobacco-growers throughout the district. The executive of the Tohacco-growers’ Association, which watched growers’ interests in 1930, carried the following motion: “That having given careful consideration to incidents of the recent Customs resolutions dealing with tobacco duties as passed by the House, the executive prays the Prime Minister to give legislative effect to the Customs recommendations proposed by a committee of the House in 1930 namely, the recommendations in that respect of the Tobacco Industry Committee.” At a subsequent meeting of growers held in Riwaka, at which over 100 growers were present, the action of the executive was confirmed and a petition was signed by all present.
