(Beceived 9, 11.50 a.m. /I CANBEBBA, Dee. 9. The Attorney-General, Mr E. B. Mew zies, announced In the House of Beprert 1 sentatives that the Minister of CustomSj 1 Mr T. W. White, would leave for NeW 1 Zealand by the Awatea on Friday t| discuss trade relations with the Neli 1 Zealand Government. ! It is understood that the sudden d«i ' eision to send Mr "White to New Zew land had been precipitated by the dif» ■ ficulties encountered by New Zealan^ ■ manufacturers as a result of .the intro* ! duction of the 40-hour week in aevera] important secondary industriea. The
rise. in production costs has increased the pressure of competition from Au»i tralian factories. The possibility of tariff action by the New Zealand Gov* ernment against Australian factoriei has been mooted several times lately. It is to discuss these difficulties ig| particular that Mr "White will visit WeL lington. While there he will discus^ also the possibilities of increasing th market for Australian citrus fruits.
