BAN ON MOTOR CAR IMPORTATION. (Per United Press Association.) Christchurch, May 1. Mr I. Woolf, president of the Canterbury .Manufacturers’ Association, at a meeting of the executive last evening, urged the prohibition of the importation of motor cars, and suggested that the New Zealand Parliament should take the same steps to develop manufactures here as the Scullin Government has taken in Australia. “To those of our manufacturers who through the beneficial effect of the high rate of exchange are likely to be busy between now and the end of the year, I strongly urge,'’ remarked Mr Woolf, “that the consequent easing of the overhead charges of a larger output should be passed on to the consumer and prove that our contention is correct, that lower prices follow increased production. to our farmer friends,” he said. “1 would impress on them (he advantages of a greater New Zealand market. A striking instance of those advantages is that during the present month the retail price paid in London for New Zealand butter was- 1/2 per lb, whilst here, where it is produced, the retail price is 1/6 to 1/7 per lb."
