NEW TARIFF RESENTED
CANADA AMD WOOL “YORKSHIRE INTERFERENCE” By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 9.5 a.m. OTTAWA, Friday, Budget changes in the tariff on woollens brought sharp criticism in the House of Commons. Mr. R. B. Bennett, the Tory leader, asserted that the tariff seemed to he moulded by Huddersfield and Bradford rather than by Canadians for Canada. Mr. Hugh Guthrie expressed resentment at what he termed the interference of the Yorkshire mill men. The Hon. J. A. Robb, Minister of Finance, remarked that there were instances where Canadian manufacturers made presentations to the British Government. Similar moves were made by the Governments of South Africa, New Zealand and Australia in efforts to obtain privileges in these markets. The debate showed that the woollen industry was not prosperous. He defended the course followed by the Government in giving greater concessions to raw material. —A. and N.Z.
