Whisky Mission: Will All Be Treated Alike?
WELLINGTON, Aug. 2. He could only presume that if the Invercargill Licensing Trust had, been granted additional import licences to enable it to send a buying mission to Australia, the rest of the wine and spirit sellers in New Zealand wouifi be treated in the same manner, said Mr PerCy Coyle, director of the national couneil of the licensed trade, today. Mr Coyle was eommenting on the decision of the Invercargill Trust to send a deiegation tp Australia to buy spirits. "If additional licences had been granted to Invercargill, then I can only presume, 55 said Mr. Coyle, ' ' that I may be fortuna.te enough to be making a visit to Australia 'in a similar capgeny and perhaps I ma'y be recognised or followed by the trust officers of Masterton, Geraldine and Ashburton. I am sure there could be no discrimination m issuing import licences in favour of the Invercargill Licensing Trust. On a quantum basis, Invercargill would nor be entitled to any imore spirits than places like Palmerston North, Wanganui, and Hamilton. It certainlv is very interesting to hear that the Invercargill Trust is able to explore the Australian market without embarrassmenx to its import of Scotch whisky. ' '
