NEW MOVE IN DRIVE ON
 AUTOMOBILE TAX REPEAL
Trade Asks That Question Be Sub mittcd 10 Tariff Advisory
 Board for Finding.

Toronto, Ont, April :2 Ps-Rep- resen'atiyes Of goo manufacturers o' automobiles and of allied in- dustrles have decided to present an appeal 10 the federal government asking that the new reductions in the tariff on imported automobiles be cancelled and that the matter be referred to tho newly tariff and advisory board.
 The appeal suggests that the government should have removed the excise duties and sales tax on automobiles, instead Of decreasing the tariff, thereby making automo- piles much cheaper without dis turbinG the industry. Pointing out that the sales of Canadian made automobiles in 1925 amounted 10 ioIOoo,Q00 and that at least 100,- GOO people are dependent on the industry, the appeal expressed the belief that the tariff reductions will gradually weaken the industry until many plants are extinguish- ed, thereby transferring capital and opportunities for employment to the United States.
