PUBLIC OPINION
NORTH V. SOUTH—AND BANANAS.
For many years now the South Island has been at a disadvantage in securing direct supplier off bananas. The trade in the past had been dominated by Auckland and the expense of transport from that centre brought an automatic increase in the prices at which the fruit was retailed in Christchurch and Duendin. When the Government steamer Maui Pomare was put in the Island trade it was for the purpose of ending this situation, but now, once more, it seems that Auckland will control the trade. Once again the South Island can enter legitimate complaint against the prefenence 'that has been given to the North Island.
