IMPORTATION OF MOTOR CARS
PROHIBITION SUGGESTED,
(By Telegrapn—Per Press Association
CHRISTCHURCH, May 1
Mr. Woolf, President of the Canterbury Manufacturers Association at a meeting of the executive last evening urged the prohibition of importation of motor ears and suggested that the New Zealand Parliament should take the same steps to develop ( manufactures here as the Scullin Government baa taken in Australia. “To those of our manufacturers, who through the beneficial effect of the high rate of exchange, are likely to lie busy between now and tbe end of the year, I strongly urge that the consequent easing of overhead charges on, a larger output should be passed on to the consumer and prove that our contention is correct that lower prices follow increased production. As to our farmer friends I would impress on them the advantages of a greater New Zealand market. A striking instance of those advantages is that during the present month the retail price paid in London for New Zealand butter was Is 2d per iltb, whilst here,' where it is produced, the retail price is Is Gd to Is 9d per lb.
