OPINION OF STATE TREASURER EFFECT OF REMOVAL OF SUGAR TAX. (Received Last Night, 9.10 o'ebek.) SYDNEY, May ? Speaking before the Sugar Com nission, Mr Barnes, State Trea.s irer of Queensland, stated that the removal or the duty from sugar would cause the industry to eventually die, and the lands to become unoccupied, and thus invite the invasion of the nations with whom they were now at peace. JAM MANUFACTURERS. (Received May 9, 10.40 a.m.) SYDNEY, May 9. Mr Peacock, the jam manufacturer, publishes a statement which has been handed to the Sugar Commission, but which was not allowed to be read, cov T ering the position of the manufacturers and fruitgrowers with regard to the industry. He claims that the solr utiion 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., : ,
