THE TARIFF REPORT
VIEWS OF BUSINESS MAN The view that the Tariff Commission in its report appeared to have been more concerned with the needs of revenue than giving relief to British manufacturers, even where the giving of such relief would not afTect New Zealand -industries, was expressed by the president, Mr. J. Hislop, at the annual meeting of the Auckland branch of the United Kingdom Manufacturers' and Now Zealand Representatives' Association yesterday. Mr. Hislop contended that although some reductions had been made in the tariff on British goods, the report, in spite of these reductions, <licl not meet New Zealand's obligation in the Ottawa agreement. Referring to the establishment of the Reserve Bank, Mr. Hislop said it had been hoped that the new note issued would be at parity with sterling. "Let us, however, trust the Reserve Bank to do for us what Parliament was not prepared to do," .said Mr. Hislop. The following officers were elected:— President, Mr. J. Hislop; vice-presi-dent, Mr. N. Heath; executive, Messrs. J. C. Entriean, C. Heath, J. Howie, H. D. Guthrie, H. W. Shackelford, A. Brooker and W. G. Douglas.
