Fix this textMr. Jensen, Minister for Customs,
Fix this textexplained that the increases were
Fix this textequal to 3d per gallon on imported
Fix this textale, beer and stout, and 5/- per gallon
Fix this texton imported spirits. The excise in-
Fix this textcreases had reduced the margin of
Fix this textprotection in favour of locally made
Fix this textarticles. The difficulty attending im-
Fix this textportations had been of considerable
Fix this textadvantage to local distillers,, while
Fix this textthe increased cost of local production
Fix this textwas trifling. The increase from 19/-
Fix this textto 35/- in excise on spirits n.e.i. was
Fix this textimposed with a view to preventing
Fix this textthe blending of inferior spirits after
Fix this textclearance from bond. The increase
Fix this textfrom 8d to (5/- on spirts for fortify-
Fix this texting wine was in conformity with the
Fix this textincreased duties on spirits. The duty
Fix this textwas equivalent to 6/8 per gallon oil
Fix this textwine. Tobacco import duties werh
Fix this textincreased by 8d per lb, cigars by 1/-
Fix this textper lb, and cigarettes by 2/- per lb.
Fix this textThe margin of protection to local
Fix this textmanufacturers was maintained. In
Fix this textconsequence of the prohibition of the
Fix this textimportation of beer, the local brewer
Fix this texthad all the trade. The excise duty
Fix this textwas advanced by 5d per gallon. Con-
Fix this textsequential amendments were made
Fix this textin the South African preference
Fix this textagreement.
Fix this textTHE ROYAL SHOW.
Fix this textMelbourne, Oct. Ist.
Fix this textAt the Royal Agricultural Show
Fix this textluncheon Sir Arthur Stanley, Gover-
Fix this textnor of Victoria, said that on all
Fix this textfronts the Allies now held splendid
Fix this textpositions, but on the Western front,
Fix this textalone could the Allies break German
Fix this textdomination.
Fix this textSir Walter Davidson, of
Fix this textNew South Wales, in the course of
Fix this texta speech, said that there were two
Fix this textnights when the line was practically
Fix this textbroken on the Western Front, but
Fix this textwas mended by two divisions. One
Fix this textwas the British Guards and the other
Fix this textwas one of the famous Australian
Fix this textDivisions. These two saved the issue
Fix this textin the great onslaught.
Fix this textMr. Guthrie, a member of the Coun-
Fix this textcil of the Royal Agricultural Society,
Fix this textin proposing the toast of the Federal
Fix this textand State Parliaments, referred to
Fix this textthe unfair criticism of Australia’s
Fix this textPrime Minister. Mr, Hughes was
Fix this texta marvellously able man and had
Fix this textbrought off some very good deals
Fix this textfor the Commonwealth, such as the
Fix this textpurchase of steamers and the sale
Fix this textof wool clips under splendid terms.
Fix this textHe had also done great service in
Fix this textselling wheat. It was time to stop criti-
Fix this textcism and stand behind the Govern-
Fix this textment,which was enthusiastically loyal.
Fix this textMr. Guthrie advocated the production
Fix this textof wool and meat, rather then wheat.
Fix this textSenator Pearce responded in the
Fix this textabsence of Mr. Watt, who was busy
Fix this texton the Budget. He pointed out
Fix this texthow rural producers benifited by
Fix this textprice fixing. The Ministry had sol(l
Fix this textto the Imperial Government butter
Fix this textand cheese valued at £4,652,000 and
Fix this texthad financed the transaction before
Fix this textthe money was received. It was ar-
Fix this textranged to supply corn sacks, saving
Fix this textfarmers £1,250,000. The Wheat Pool
Fix this texthad been financed, advancing far-
Fix this textmers, in conjunction with the States,
Fix this text4/4 per bushel for the 1918-19 crop.
Fix this textOwing to the increasing shortage of
Fix this textshipping, adequate protection must
Fix this textbe afforded the stacked wheat.
Fix this textReferring to the war, Senator
Fix this textPearce said that it was nothing
Fix this textderogatory to other troops to declare
Fix this textthat, in the recent German offensive,
Fix this textnot a single Australian Division or
Fix this textBrigade had retreated a yard.
