Suitability of Hull as Distributing Port LONDON, Feb. 13. The suitability of Hull as a distributing port for New Zealand produce was stressed by speakers at a civic dinner in honour of Mr. and Mrs. Jordan. They urged Mr, Jordan to help develop trade. Answering a query as to whether he •could give a hint of how the disadvantage of the 25 per cent. increase on the rate of exchange could be got rid of by Britain, Mr. Jordan said that until New Zealand and Australia were on a parity with Britain it would be useless for New Zealand to lower it. New Zealand" was prepared to refuse to accept goods from foreign countries although they were much cheaper. They could get three yards of cotton piece goods from iJapan for the price of oue in Britain, ibut they were prepared to give abso■lute preference to Britain.
