“SOME LIBERTY LEFT”
COMMENT IN AUCKLAND. AUCKLAND, May 22. “Importers will be delighted with the result of the case and the knowledge that there is likely to be some respite from the sweeping nature of the import regulations,” said the president' of the Bureau of Importers, Mr W. A. Boucher, commenting on the judgment. “It will be recollected,” he said, “that in December, soon after the announcement of the regulations, the bureau held a meeting and decided that some action should be taken to protect the interests of importers. The bureau has not deviated from this policy.” Mr Boucher said the judgment proved that the protest instituted by the bureau against the rights of individuals being interfered with had been a worthy one. Moreover the case proved that actions such- as import restrictions, which affected the lives and activities of the citizens of New Zealand could still be taken to the Courts for a faildecision, showing that there was a certain amount of liberty left.
