Enemy Goods in Innocent Guise
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Dec. 21. "It is considered that we iu New Zealand should co-operate fully in any measures adopted by the United Kingdom Government to prevent enemy trading, and the regulations now maoo should servo to a material extent in preventing the introduction of enemy goods in innocent guise," said the Minister of Customs, Mr. W. Nash, in reference to the Gazette notice restricting the imports of goods of enemy origin. “The United Kingdom Ministry of Economic Warfare," said Mr. Nash, “recently issued a warning to the effect that merchants who wish to ensure that their exports from European countries are not delayed or detained are advised to obtain certificates of origin aud interest from the British or Irench Consular officer in the European country concerned. They should arrange for these certificates to accompany the goods on board the vessel. This will, it is stated, greatly facilitate the examination of the vessel at the contraband control bases, and shipowners are therefore strongly advised not to accept cargo not accompanied by such certificates."
