SAFEGUARDING OF INDUSTRIES ACT.
TRADING COMMUNITY DEMANDS REVISION,
LONDON. October 11. etions of the trading community are objecting to the Safeguarding of Industries Act in so far as the appended schedule includes many commodities not made in Britain an apparently not related to key industries. The British Chemical Trade Association, in a resolution of protest, contends that the effect of such inclusion converts the art into a tarif one and suggests the appointment of a mixed Government and non-official committee to revise the schedule. The fancy goods section of the London Chamber of Commerce which also demands revision, says that the Act is embarrassing trade. Mr. J. 1. Kiley, M. P., said that articles beyond those in the publi- shed liss were subjected to a 331 per cent duty.
