PRINTING TRADE REQUIREMENTS.
WELLINGTON, February 10. Replying' to a deputation from the Master Printers' Association seeking greater protection for the printing trade, the Minister of Customs said that when the tariff is next being revised he would go carefully iiito the representations. With regard to the importation of printing paper from Australia, he would see that the Customs Department paid special attention to ensuring that the original country of origin was shown in every case. He would also see what could be done in the way of stamping playbills and theatrical posters, as the deputation suggested, in order to prevent their being brought in without payment of the duty. He promised to bring the matter of fostering the paper-making industry under the notice of the Minister of Industries and Commerce.
