NEW AMERICAN TARIFF.
Sill JOSEPH WARD INTERVIEWED
j i’mt Press Association. I WELLINGTON, Jan. 22
Interviewed regarding the cablegram stating that the President of * the United States has granted the minimum Customs rates under the new tariff law to the United Kingdom, but not to British colonial possessions, Sir Joseph Ward said he regretted that the new tariff did not refer to the British Colonial possessions. It meant as far as New Zealand was concern-*! our practical exclusion from the United States in regard to certain articles which would be difficult to introduce even, under the lower tariff. There could, he added, be no doubt that at present a. considerable quantity of Now Zealand wool was shipped to England and bought by Americans there, and then conveyed to America. The anomaly was, he assumed that suoli purchases would) come under the minimum tariff, while if shipped from New Zealand it would come under the maximum tariff. There were some articles which would fully compensate for interchange of trade between New Zealand and America, and would not in any way injure our local industries.
