HOPES NOT REALIZED
IMPORT REGULATIONS The suggestion that the new regulation ol imports would divert trade to Great Britain was nut, correct, said Mr. W. A. Boucher, president of the Auckland Bureau of Importers. He said the new restrictions meant the death-knell of a large number of organisations which had been holding on and hoping for better conditions.
Some trade, he said, might go to Great Britain, but it would not make up for that which was destroyed by the import regulations. The reason was that traders were not allowed to secure new lines in Great Britain and licenses tor goods for which there was a sale could not be increased.
It seemed a pity, Mr. Boucher concluded, that those who had been hoping for improved conditions should not have their wishes in any way gratified.
