OTTAWA AGREEMENTS
BENEFICIAL EFFECTS. MANUFACTURERS’ REPORT. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7.5 p.m.) London, February 14. The beneficial effects of the Ottawa agreements are stressed in the annual report of the Australian Association of British Manufacturers. It declares that the provision against the imposition of new duties against British goods without a proper inquiry by the Tariff Board enabled the retention of a considerable proportion of British trade to Australia that might otherwise have been lost. The possibilities under the agreements have not been exhausted. It advises British industries which have not yet benefited from the various Australian tariff amendments to make formal application for Board of Trade inquiries with regard to such products. Commenting on the serious effect of competition in the British cotton and rayon industries from Japan, the report expresses the opinion that the difficulty of the situation has been enormously intensified by the fact that the balance of trade between Australia and Japan is so favourable to the former.
