IMPORTED CARS
PROPOSED BAN CONDEMNED. “A TERRIBLE THING IN PRACTICE.” (Per United Press Association.) Christchurch, May 2. A statement on behalf of the New Zealand Motor Traders’ Association (Canterbury branch) of which he is president, was made by Mr K. E. England in connection with the attitude of thp Canterbury Manufacturers’ Association towards imports. “The suggestion that the importation of motor cars should be prohibited for one year and that the chassis only should be allowed to enter after that would be a terrible thing in practice,” said Mr England. “Prohibition of car imports would throw hundreds of men out of work at once, and if cars are not coming into the country then the large staffs now carried by importers must be reduced or dispensed with. Whichever way the suggestion is regarded it is economically urisound.”
