AUSTRALIAN TARIFF
A YORKSHIRE PROTEST
(United Presa Association.—Copyright)
LONDON'. 7tb April
, Bradford textile men arc expressing dissatisfaction with the way alterations in tin- Australian tariff as regards wool len manufactures have been pushed through Parliament. A writer in the "Yorkshire. Post' - sayx: "Determined efforts arc being made, mid much money is being spent li> encourage trading within the Empire, and the immense sums which Australians draw every war from us in payment for wool alone lire regarded as sufficient reason why some official notification should have been given us of the intention to alter the duty on certain worsted piece goods to our detriment. Contrast is inevitably made with the consideration given by Canadians, who do not draw from this district nearly as much money n.s Australians. The cause, of Empire trading is not likely to be promoted by what the Australians have done. That Australians desire to develop their own domestic wool textile industry is appreciated in (his district, but in tho case of such wool textiles as they cannot make themselves and are. obliged to import, they might have increased the measure of preference given l<i goods made in this country. 'lhat would have been more in harmony with schemes for _ developing trade within the Empire."
