BRITISH PROTEST
PROTECTION OF AUSTRALIAN TINPLATE INDUSTRY.
THREAT OF RETALIATION
By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. MELBOURNE, July 10.
During the hearing of an application before the Tariff Board in which the Broken Hill Proprietary Company, Limited, is seeking protection for the tinplate industry, which it proposes to establish, two representatives of British tinplate manufacturers today tendered a joint statement of protest. They declared that if the British manufacturers were excluded from the Australian market every effort would be put forward by the British industry to cause withdrawal of the preferential treatment enjoyed by some Australian exports, especially canned goods. The statement added that the British tinplate industry would be compelled to link with the growing body of British industrial opinion urging the British Government to resume complete freedom to extend fiscal preferences to countries within or without the Empire which are willing and able to grant reciprocal trade advantages.
