Trading Company And
In the Federal Parliament at the end of July references were made to the S.D.A. mission and its Sanitorium Health Food Company of Sydney.
Mr. Casey (Assistant-Treasurer) com plained that the Health Food Co. was ob taining unfair advantage over other firms by trading as a religious body. Another member said the company was exempt from Federal, State and land taxation on that account. He alleged that the profits of the
company were expended in missionary work in the Islands and so did not provide work in other industries.
On behalf of the Sanitorium Health Food Co. it was stated that though the firm did not pay certain taxation, the profits were applied to beneficial medical and educa tional work in the South Seas.
