To Finish Next Week
TARIFF COMMISSION’S AUCKLAND SITTINGS. Per Press Association AUCKLAND, Last Night. The Tariff Commission will definitely conclude its Auckland sittings next week. To-day’s evidence covered a wide range of subjects, varying from face powders to slasher handles, and from souvenir spoons to gherkins. In most cases retention of the present duties was sought, to enable local industries to compete with imported goods. Evidence on behalf of the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union was given by Mr. C. J. Ward, who asked that ac least the present scale of duties should be maintained. Ho said the importations in 1919-21 represented 46.3 per cent, of the total requirements. In 1928 the figure was 68.6 per cent. If that growth could take place, there could not be much wrong with tho tariff.
