TO BE ADMITTED DUTY FREE Wclington, Dec. 7—When details of tariff amendments were considered in committee the Minister was urged by I his own supporters to make children’s footwear duty free on series 0 to 9, instead of 6, as at present. The Minister of Customs stated that New Zealand boot manufacturers were willing, if given two years’ further protection on* children’s footwear, to establish a joint factory for the production of this class of boot and submit to official control of prices. Government supporters maintain 3 i • their advocate of the extension of the | I free list, and Mr. Massey eventually ; intervened with an offer to place the • series 0 to 9 on the free list (British). Tt would cause a loss revenue of about. ! £OOOO or £7OOO, which would have to be made up somewhere. This proposal should operate after March 31. so as to give merchants* an opportunity to dispose of stocks in hand.
