Tariffs and Taxation
I Per Press Association. Copyright. I WELLINGTON, This Day. A resolution embodying several remits on tariffs and taxation was carried by the Farmers’ Union Conference yesterday. The resolution set out that, .while the conference was impressed with the need .lor putting primary industries and secondary industries in a sound economic position, it reaffirmed its previous policy of opposition to tariffs as a means to that end. as that would inevitably result in increased costs. The conference believed that the remedy lay in a sound economic diagnosis, to be followed by the appropriate corrective action. Accordingly, it asked for an authoritative and impartial economic survey, which would reveal the disabilities affecting different industries, as set out in yesterday’s resolution calling for a statistical review. A resolution calling on the Government to abolish the unemployment and sales tax was carried, and great disapproval was expressed at the prospects of any addition to an already too heavy burden of taxation. Reaffirmation of the retention of the present stock embargo was supported.
