COMMERCE CONFERENCE
PROVINCIAL CHAMBERS ASSEMBLED FINAL DAY’S BUSINESS The final sitting of the conference of delegates from Auckland Chambers of Commerce was held yesterday, Mr. If. T. Merritt presiding. Yesterday morning visiting delegates were taken on a motor sight-seeing tour, and later were entertained at an official luncheon, where Mr. Ralph L. Ziman gave an address on “Unfair Public Trading.'* When the conference was resumed the Matamata delegate brought forfard a remit asking that the railway tariff should be placed on a commercial basis and not used as a means of affording protection to New Zealandmade goods, as against imported goods of the same sort. Mr. G. Finn, in opposing the remit, which was adopted, said that the differential rate helped the farmers by encouraging secondary industries. Through the adoption of a remit from the Tauranga Chamber the Minister of Lands was urged to set his land advisory boards in operation that a scheme for furthering land settlement might be devised. At the conclusion of the conference visiting delegates expressed thanks to the Auckland Chamber for arranging a conference of such proved value.
