(Received this day at 9.25 a.m)
CANBERRA, November 9
A special gazette was issued yesterday announcing the prohibition ot the export of bananas from Norfolk Island. Mr Marr, Minister for Health, explained .that there was an arrangement whereby the islanders exported fifteen hundred cases of bananas to New Zealand every - six weeks. Yesterday being export day, one grower attempts ed to steal a march on his fellow exporters by hurriedly placing aboard a- vessel a full consignment cf fifteen hundred cases belongingto himself ana a. few friends. Other growers were left with their fruit, and were compelled to seek the aid of the Federal Government, which immediately promulgated the prohibition order. Mr Marr. added that the ship’s captain immediately .set about unloading the'bananas in order to escape demurrage charges.
