PRICE - FIXING
TRIBUNAL IN AUSTRALIA CONTROL OF RATES NEW ZEALAND POTATOES (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) SYDNEY, Feb. 19 The New South Wales Cabinet is drafting legislation for the creation of a price-living tribunal to control excessive prices of commodities, says the Sunday Sun. This is based upon the AuditorGeneral’s report on his inquiry into price-fixing machinery in New Zealand.
The article then takes up the case for the removal of the embargo on New Zealand potatoes, stating that if this is not done Tasmanian potatoes are likely to go to £4O a ton in the winter.
It is added that Sydney and Melbourne merchants have arranged for considerable 'purchases of New Zealand potatoes, subject to the suspension of the ban on their importation to Australia.
