In the House of Commons an Opposition uproar followed the application of the closure to the debate on the financial resolution in relation to the protection of key industries. The closure was carried by 177 votes to 59. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
[The text of two Government resolutions to bo moved in the House of Commons dealing wiflt key industries and dumping was issued a few weeks ago. It was explained that they were temporary measures, pending the introduction of a Bill which would be based on them. The first resolution imposed during five years an ad valorem duty of 33 1-3 per cent, on a large number of specified articles, notably optical instruments, magnetos. arc lamp carbons, synthetic organic chemicals, tungsten, and other rare metals. The second resolution imposed a similar duty, in addition to any existing duty on goods wholly or partly manufactured abroad and offered in Britain at prices below the cost of. production or prices which owing to depreciated foreign currencies are below the prices at which similar goods could profitably be manufactured in Britain.]
