DEMAND FOR PROTECTION
BRITISH INDUSTRIES LAST DOUBTS REMOVED (Special to the Herald.) AUCKLAND, this clay. ■‘ln the whole of my travels in (beat Britain I did not meet a single business man who did not believe whole-heartedly that protection of industries is tlie only salvation of England,” said Mr. John Harrington, -of Sydney, founder and managing director of Harrington’s, Ltd., who arrived at Auckland by the Niagara after an eight months’ business trip abroad. “If any manufacturer was in doubt bo has since changed his mind in the face of ihe example of the motor car industry.” continued Mr. Harrington. “Everyone remembers the outcry that was raised when a duty of 33 1-3 per cent, was imposed on foreign cars entering Great Britain. It was asserted that the public would be badly bit.; yet the result has been an. immense) improvement in the quality of British cars and a great reduction in prices owing to the increased output. Local competition lias effectively prevented any possibility of profiteering. What has been done in tlio motor industry would follow in any other industry which was protected.”
