CANADIAN BUTTER TARIFF.
A RETALIATORY MEASURE. (Per United Press Association.! HAMILTON, May 7. There can be little doubt that the attitude adopted by the Canadian lumbermen has contributed in no small measure to the passing of the butter tariff now in force against New Zealand, remarked Mr M'Donald, head of the Canadian lumber delegation, during a visit to Hamilton. New Zealand dairy companies, he said were using Scandinavian timber for butter boxee. All attempts to induce factories to use Canadian wood had failed and as a result the lumbermen felt they woujd be justified in not opposing the increase. Had some agreement been reached as a result of the delegation's visit to New Zealand the position might conceivably have been very different.
