EMBARGO CRITICISED
“TRANSFER IMPOSSIBLE.” AUCKLAND, October 4. “It is absolutely impossible for nreblight to be sent overseas in export app.es,” said Mi George A. Green, secretary of the Horticultural' Trade Association of New Zealand, replying to the cabled . statement of the Fruitgrowers’ Federation of New South Wales that New Zeaand fruit was banned from Austraian markets on account of the danger of the introduction of that blight.
“There appears little doubt,”. added Mr-Green, “that this embargo is in line with others which aim at the protection of the Australian grower to the exclusion of the New Zealand grower.” He said that the claim that the embargo was the result of the presence of fireblight in New Zealand and the fear that it might spread to Australia, was either the result of ignorance of the nature of fireblight, and •of the way in which it was spread, or else it was on all fours with the present embargo on lemons. The latter embargo, allegedly, was due to the presence of citrus canker in America, whichj country was in regular trade communication with the Dominion. Another embargo of a like order was that which operated against the entry of pineapples into Australia.
