IMPORT OF MOTOR-CARS.
RESTRICTION OPPOSED.
EFFECT UPON EMPLOYMENT.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] CHRISTCHUKCH, Friday.
A statement on behalf of tho Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Motor Traders' Association was made by the president, Mr. K. E. England, in connection with the attitude of tho Canterbury Manufacturers' Association toward impoits. " The suggestion that the importation of motor-cars should be prohibited for one year, and that chassis only should bo allowed to enter after that, would be a terrible thing in practice," said Mr. England. " The prohibition of car imports would throw hundreds of men out of w'ork at once. If cars are not coming into the country, then tho targe staffs now carried by importers must be reduced or dispensed with. Whichever v- ay the suggestion is regarded, it .s economically unsound."
