NEW ZEALANI] TARIFF BililST HITS CANADA K i n g Government Fails T0 Retain Fa- vorabie Terms Ne- gotiated By Conser- vatives. UITAWA. Feb. Zii-Nearly five per cent of Canadzrs export trade with New Zealand is affected by the budget introduced into the New Zealand Parliament today by Finance Minister Walter Nash. Advices from Wellington indicated a. “er of tariff revisions. many of them increased lmposts against Canadian exports. It was computed here today that close to $500,000 of Canada/s ex- port trade will hereafter be sub- Ject to the higher rates. In 1936, the last year for which trade fi - urea with New Zealand are ava - able. this country exported to the antipodean dominion goods to the Value of 810330.112. On 40 items of the New Zealand tariff. inwhleh Canadian export- ers are interested. the upward re- vision halgbeen marked. One item alone. storage batteries. of which Canada exported $55,126 in i936. has been removed from the free list and made subject to a. 20 per cent duty. On several other items. the tar- iff has been boosted from the normal "primztge" or three per cent import tax to s. high figure in the tariff schedules. except in the case of boots and shoes. the 22 1-2 per cent surtax has been removed in all cases. Despatchcs today did not indi- cate how the general tariff rates had been revised. and trade de- partment offlcials were unable to indicate to what extent the spread in favor of Canada had been maintained.
