COMPULSORY CLAUSES OF FINANCE ACT
PROTEST AGAINST NON-USE.
By Telegraph.—Press Aeßociation. uckland, March 18.
The failure of the Government, to' enforce the compulsory clauses of the Finance Act in connection with the raising of the soldiers* loan of <£6,000,000, was considered at a meeting of business men convened by the Auckland Chamber of Commerce. There was a representative attendance. The following resolution was carried:—"That this meeting views with alarm the statement attributed by the , Press Association telegram to the Prime Minister in reference to the .£6,000,000 soldiers' loan that, although under-subscribed to the extent of £1,500,000, the Government does not intend to press the compulsory clauses of the Act. This chamber emphatically protests against such an injustice on the part of the Government, on the' ground that by the nhn-enforcement of the compulsory clauses of the Act that .portion of the tax-paying community, which has n. due sense of its obligations to the State, and 'has given effect to. them, is placed in a most unsatisfactory positron comlpared to )that other section of taxpayers which has not made any effort to support the loan.
