BUSINESS PROFITS
EFFECT OF NEW ACT
(Special to the "Evening Post.") PALMERSTON N., This Day. Criticism of the Prevention of Proilteering Act was voiced by the council of the Palmerston North Chamber of. Commerce yesterday. •Mr. F. Cousins questioned whether business men deliberately attempted to make unfair profits. Rather would the endeavour of a firm be to reduce the margin of profit for a quicker turnover. The Act was making people timid, of entering a store because they imagined they were being robbed. Mr. F. G. Opie said the difficulties ■were only beginning with the' passing of the new law. The problem of enforcement still confronted the Government. The responsibility for making many of the new measures effective was being left with Magistrates and others, who would have to work 24 hours a day to do the thing properly.
