THE SUGAR COMMISSION
PROTEST ON IMPORT DUTIES. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, May 9. Peacock, a jam manufacturer, publishes a statement which he handed to the Sugar Commission, but which was not allowed to be read, covering the position of manufacturers and fruitgrowers with regard to the industry. He claims that the solution of the whole sugar difficulty lies in the direction of no import or excise duties on white grown sugars, with a direct bonus paid to cane-growers. The result would be that, as in New Zealand, sugar would be sold in Australia at the world's prices.
THE TAX ON SUGAR.
Received !), 0.15 p.m. Sydney, May 9. Mr. Barnes, the Queensland Treasurer, stated that the removal of the duty on sugar would cause the industry eventually to die and the lands to become unoccupied. They would thus invite an invasion of nations with whom they were now at peace.
