LONDON, 22nd May (delayed,. The Board of Trade Journal, referring to Nov; Zealand complaints regarding the unsatisfactory nature of the British manufacturers' replies to New Zealand agents' inquiries after the armistice as to how they intended to prosecute postwar trade, emphasises the fact that Britain was turned industrially upside-down by the war. The Journal asks, how British _ manufacturers could in the circumstances specify the -conditions of post-war trade when, the; supply .and prices of materia*?, the amount and cost of labour,, shipping accommodation, and freights, were all unknown, and not calculable. The Journal adds : "It is unjust to conclude, therefore, that-the British manufacturers are indifferent, to the New Zealand market and not appreciative of New Zealand -conditions."
