THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
• ' : ' *•- •.1 ? *. !>' ’ • ■ O TARIFF RETALIATION. The decision of the Government to .put Canadian motor cars and accessor** ies on the general tariff list involves) questions of great political arid commercial importance to the Dominion. As is generally known, since 1925 New Zealand goods entering Canada" have been admitted under an extension of ,fbe agreement between Canada and Australia, which allows certain reductions in duty on Commonwealth products. But in May of this year the . Canadian Parliament increased the preferential tariff rate on butter from one cent to four cents per lb., thereby heavily handicapping our dairy export trade, and the .new Can-” adian Government has now: informed jNew Zealvnd that it cannot extend the benfit9 of the Australian agreementrates to our goods beyond October, Our jown Government has therefore decid,ed to impose a- retaliatory ' duty on Canadian motor cars with a vie# to negotiating some more definite" arid satisfactory arrangement later on. —Auckland Staff;.
