THE TARIFF
TO BE PUT THROUGH NEXT SESSION. WELLINGTON, January 17. Mr Massey states that it is his intention to deal with the tariff in a comprehensive manner next session. Already the departmental officers have been occupied with the question, and a good deal of the preliminarywork has been accomplished. Very- soon now some of the principal customs officers and Mr Macdonald (chairman of the Board of Trade) will commence to visit the various centres in the dominion with a view to getting further information necessary in view of tariff alterations. A very large amount of preliminary work is necessary. As the Prime Minister said last session, it is a six months’ job. In the absence of Sir William Herries, Mr Massey himself will most probably have to pilot the Tariff Bill through the House of Representatives.
