OVERSEAS PAYMENTS
(To the Editor.) Sir —-Anent the Labour Government'^ efforts to arrest the "flight of capital" from this country, I recently sent a cheque for £13 15s 5d to the Commissioner of Taxation, Melbourne, in payment of income tax. The Commissioner writes me that the. Commonwealth Bank has refused it because* "at th© request of the" New Zealand Government," "they are unable *to negotiate or accept for collection any cheque drawn on New Zealand." Can you please inform me how I should proceed? I most emphatically decline to crave this or any other Government's permisison to pay my legal debts, so perforce must find some other means and hope that in doing so I shall not lay myself open to a criminal charge.—l a*n- r- \ rti_iN_._i_.ti.' [Presumably the oniy course open il to apply through a trading bank to th** Reserve Bank which issues permits for overseas payments, unless payment ii made by weekly instalments through i the Post Office.l
