» Per United Press Association. By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright AUCKLAND, Jan. 27. At a meeting of the Council of the Chamber of Commerce Mr Vaile in- | tfuired whether tho Chamber intended | to mo;Vf> further in regard to the preferential tariff 1 question. Tho president explained that the principle had been affirmed by the Chamber and it was thought desirable to remain quiescent for a time, watching developments. The N.Z. legislation passed on the subject was briefly criticised and described by Mr R Hobbs as monstrous. Mr Aiken suggested that expert opinion should be obtained on the legislation and that tradespeople and merchants affected should be asked to make recomliienh dilutions with a view to securing amendments next session. Mr Vaile gave notice of a motion to discuss the preferential and reciprocal tra<io proposals at the next monthly meeting. A STRAIGHT ISSUE. LONDON, Jan. 27.
