The Government has had under consideration the question as to how goods should be dealt with which left Canada before the recent tariff alterations took effect. The Prime Minister, the Right Hon. G. W. Forbes, stated to-day that In the ordinary course tariff changes oome into operation immediately they are announced, 'but the recent changes were due to special circumstances which warranted a departure from the usual procedure. "Therefore,” said Mr Forbes, “it has now’ been decided that all goods the produce or manufacture of Canada which were exported from that country for New Zealand before June 2, 1931, will be admitted at the rates of duty in force Immediately prior to that date. This means that the new rates will not be charged on an> Canadian goods now in bonded wan houses or which left Canada for NeZealand before June 2. If any du: has been overpaid it will be refunde upon application to the collector o customs at the port at which the dul> was paid.”
