GERMAN GOODS.
LANDED HERE AS BRITISH. MR, MASSEY TO INVESTIGATE. A matter which the Prime Minister was asked in Parliament last week to look into while in England was the landing in the Dominion of German goods as. British. The Leader of the Opposition (Mr T. M. Wjlford) said that it had been brought to his notice that £300,000' worth of goods that were imported to the Dominion .as British goods were in reality German goods. He believed that his information was correct. He understood that there was a duty of 50 per cent, in England on such goods, and it was highly undesirable that we should pay that increase on t,he goods when shipped here from England. He asked the Prime Ministed to look carefully into the matter while on his visit to the conference. Mr Massey promised to give the matter his attention. If German goods were coming here through British ports we should know it. He knew that German goods were coming in here at| present. With the full information he would secure he should be able to meet the position.
