FREE STATE PRODUCE.
BRITISH DUTIES RAISED. ON FLAT RATE OF 10 PER CENT. 30 PER CENT ON BUTTER. United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copyright. (Received Oct. 27, 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 26. It was explained authoritatively tonight that though the new Ottawa duties will not be levied on the Irish Free State goods, they will be subjected from November 15 to a flat rate of 10 per cent under the Import Duties Act. This will be additional to the 20 per cent special duties charged on some goods to recover the retained land annuities. Thus butter, which concerns Australia and New Zealand, and most other dairy products will be liable to duties aggregating 30 per cent. The Free State Ministers refuse to comment on the .situation, but members of the Dali, who are not supporters of De Valera, declare that they are not in the least surprised as they were prepared for the worst.
