TARIFF ON CIGARETTES
MATTER OF DISCRIMINATION.
COMMISSION HEARS EVIDENCE.
By Telegraph—Press Association.
Wellington, July 10.
When the tariff commission resumed to-day Mr. R. B. Smith, managing director of W. D. and H. O. Wills (N.Z.) Ltd., urged that the British tariff be followed in the main principle that there should be no discrimination in taxation between different forms of manufacture. There should be adequate protection for local manufacturers, Mr. Smith said. He asked that the degree of protection on locally grown leaf be maintained. It should be possible for the manufacturer to market profitably a good standard-size cigarette at 10 for sixpence. The weakness of the present tariff was that this was impossible with adequate advertising.
