LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
TARIFF ON GERMAN GOODS. NOTE OF WARNING Sydney, September 15. Speaking on '* After War Problems," Mr. H. Y. Braddon, a wellknown commercial man, pointed out the danger of a prohibitive tariff on German goods. If thry prohibited Germany selling in the Empire markets she would refuse to buy. and would also concentrate her energies on capturing our trade in neutral markets, which she would be enabled to do, owing to the low wages paid and the cheap cost of production. Instead of a prohibitive tariff, Mr. Braddon advocated a fairly stiff one protecting local manufacturers and favouring Great Britain and the allies. The solution of Australia's problems, he said, lay in the encouragement of the primary production and large export trade and the discouragement of imports of a luxurious character. It was the duty o the Government to postpone all works not absolutely necessary. One Australian handicap was the tact that employers did not get an adequate day's work for a day's pay.
