THOUGHTS FOR THE TIKES
Tin: Tariff Wall. Although the Government intends, for example, to increase its contribution to the upkeep of the maritime defences of the Empire. New Zealand will still he hearing much less than its proper share of the burden. In the matter of trade, too, New Zealand’s policy is not what one would expect of a Dominion so deeply attached to Great Britain. It is true that our tariff gives a “preference” to Britain, hut this preference is no more than the making it even more difficult for foreign countries than for Britain to sell their wares hero. Our tariff is designed to keep out British, as well as foreign goods, and the so-called “preference” is less a concession to Britain than an additional protection for the local manufacturers. In time one may hope, such practical contradictions of the real sentiment of New Zealanders will disappear. —Christchurch “Press.”
