OUR TIMBER IN AUSTRALIA.
EVIDENCE BEFORE TARIFF COMMISSION.
Received 2,1.20 a.m. Sydney, June 1,
Jones, of the Austral Timber Company, giving evidence before the Tariff Commission, stated that the proposed duty on New Zealand timber would be detrimental to the users of boxes for butter, wines, whisky, meat, and fruit. There was no timber so suitable, so easily cut, or procurable in the quantities necessary. To increase the duty on white pine would be calamitous to producers in tho Commonwealth, inasmuch as the duty would be passed on to the man on the land. Both kauri and white pine should be free, if undressed.
