Strong criticism of the wheat industry protection policy was made by ~ special committee of the Chamber of Commerce, which has prepaied a icport lor despatch to the Tariff Comimssion find all Parliaineritaiians. It states, inter alia,. if is a striking anomaly for this, country xo bolster up a. monopoly fostered by the Government and to support prices for wheat in New Zealand that are. out of all reason, compared to world values, should have to exact irom the taxpayer under the Bank Indemnity Act in the vicinity of 6d per bushel to send our surplus wheat overseas. At the same time our poultry producers cannot get the benefit of cheap wheat to enable them to prosecute their own primary industry, and have to put up with the spectacle of overseas poultry producers and other buyers of New Zealand wheat securing it at prices very substantially below those charged to the New Zealand purchaser.
