BRITISH EMPIRE GOODS ** * VALUATIONS RULED INVALID. OTTAWA, October 30. (Received Oct. 31, at 9.30 p.m.) The arbitary valuation set by the National Revenue Department against British Empire goods since November 25, 1932, under section 43 of the dustoms Act, were ruled invalid to-day by the Tariff Board. The valuations apply to a wide range of including wire rope, ferro manganese, stockingette, jersey cloth, jute, twine and metal name plates. The board’s ruling was made in allowing an appeal entered by L. A. Wilmot, of Montreal, acting for Thomas Bonar and Co., Ltd., Montreal, and dealing specifically with jute and twines. The ruling will let down tariff bars to many United Kingdom goods which it was believed might lead to law suits against the Dominion for import and dumping duties collected under section 43 since it was amended in 1932. The amendment had limited the power of the Minister to goods imported under the intermediate or general tariff and excluded British Empire products, but the department continued to set duty valuations against United Kingdom goods under the section.
