[Per Press Association — Copyright. 3 CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.
The statement that he was personally opposed to the gold export tax on principle, but that he was only one member of the Government, and the question of the removal of the tax would have to be considered by the Cabinet as a whole, was made by the Minister of Mines, the Hon. P. C. Webb, in reply to a deputation, from the executive of the New Zealand Gold Producers’" Association. Members of the deputation stated that they were not yet ready with proposals for the development of the industry, but that after a conference to be held on February 18 a deputation representing the whole of the goldmining industry would wait on the Minister at Wellington with definite requests.
