AUSTRALIAN FLOUR
-T-* GOVERNMENT IMPORTS A SHIPMENT. Tho New Zealand Government has imported 2600 sacks (approximately 200 tons) of Australian (Victorian) flour within the last week for bread-making in the military camps. This action, the local bakers aver, is quite contradictory to the views expressed by Mr. Hart, of the New Zealand Board of Trade, in refuting the arguments of the bakers in protesting against tho embargo proposed to be placed on the importation of Australian flour at the end of the month. One local baker, in referring to Mr. Hart's statement that the bread made entirely from New Zealand flour was as good as that made from a blend or all Australian flour, said that Mr. Hart did not understand the position or he would not have said that. If that were so why was the Government continually buying Australian (lour? Why were tons of Aus> tralian flour placed- on board every transport leaving New Zealand? Finally, why was it that many of the New Zealand flour millers bought Australian flonr to blend with their own in the mill? It is understood that a deputation of bakers is to wait on the Prime Minister within the next few days to protest against the imposing of the embargo.
