PREFERENTIAL TARIFF
AUCKLAND CRITICISM By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, November 1. The preferential margin given in New Zealand’s tariff schedule to Great Britain over foreign countries was criticised by the Auckland Chamber of Commerce representatives in a remit presented to the annual conference of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of New Zealand to-day. The main contention was that New Zealand was not in a position for tariff bargaining and was provoking foreign reprisals by its present policy at a time when everything should be done to cause an expansion of markets for New Zealand’s primary produce. The remit was defeated by a large majority after a long debate, the majority of the speakers favouring support for the Government’s scheme of bargaining on the basis of the present tariffs and reciprocal trade.
