Opposition Leader Protests A- gainst Early Amendments To Tariff — ls Put Straight By Hon.

Mr. Stevens,

Min. Of Trade

And Commerce.

(Canadian Press)

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 17-—At the opening of this afternoons sitting of the Commons. Rt. l-lon. G. W. Forbes, Prime Minister of New Zea- land, was welcomed to a seat, on the floor oi tile House with applause from the members.

Debate opened on the third read- ing of the amendments to the cus- tom act in respect to dumping, led_ by J, S. Woodsworth (Labor, Win- nipeg north centre). Hon. H. H. Mavens, Minister of Trade and Commerce. announced that last year- rpproximaiely 167,700 tons of Rus-i llBJl coal was imported into this country. There were no importa- tion: of pulp or lumber, although there were some shipments which passed through the country in trans- it to United States points.

Third Beading of Bill

‘i

m. Woodsworth in resuming the debate protested against what he be- lieved to ‘be an attempt upon the part of the Government to “rush through" the House" a. measure that should be carefully studied both by the House and by the public before it was dealt with. Hon. E. B. Ryck- man, Minister of National Revenue, in a brief statement before the close o! the debate, said the principal of the bill had been approved by Par- liament in i922 and not until today had any protests been made. He be- lieved it was necessary to the Gov- ernment's programme to deal with the unemployment situation. The bill was then given third reading.

St. John Likely To Secure Refin ery

FOR. THE PRODUCTION OF GASOLINE-THE ADDITION OF TARIFF DUTY WILL NOT CHANGE PRICE IN CANADA.

SAINT JOHN, Sept. 17.--A refinery for the production of gasoline is likely to be estab- lished in Saint John as a re- sult of the new tariff of 2% cents a gallon placed on gaso- line by the ' ’ ' parliament. Dealers bore yesterday said that the addition of duty would not change the price in Can- ada. but the amount would be absorbed by the trade.

The idea. of a refinery in Saint John was suggested by a local dealer. who did not wish his name mentioned at present...

‘Mine; cf the Province

His idea was that raw materials could be brought here by water routes cheaper than to any other part of Canada. The manufactured gasoline could be distributed both by water and by nil from Saint John advan- tageously.

The duty on gasoline bad been anticipated by the produc- ers and those without refineries in Canada had under consider- ation the matter of refining in Canada. One of the largel- in- dependent ies in the United States has even consid- cl-erl the matter of sites. How» i1 everlrtfor the present gasoline would be imported by the com- panls which did not refine here.
