Letter on Parliament and tariff reforms repetition of failed policies
A letter critiques Parliament and vested interests for defeating tariff reductions on Australian goods. It cites 1914 board findings on sanitary earthens and general goods, notes high prices, and alleges backstairs agitation pressured MPs to oppose reduced duties. The piece asserts government support wavered under party maneuvers and cites inconsistent evidence supporting protectionism.
