JAPAN AND NEW ZEALAND
CLOSER TRADE RELATIONS URGED DEPARTING CONSUL-GENERAL (Pek United Press Association) AUCKLAND, Sept. 9. Closer relations between Japan and New Zealand, even during the war, were urged by Mr Toyokichi Fukuma, Japanese Consul-general in New Zealand, when he was interviewed prior to sailing for Japan. On arrival at Auckland he was welcomed by the Mayor (Sir Ernest Davis) and the honorary Consul for Japan at Auckland (Mr Eliot Davis, M.L.C.). Mr Fukuma said that Japan wanted from New Zealand wool in particular, and also raw materials, including casein. In exchange Japan now exported textiles and manufactured goods, but could also send corrugated iron for roofing, fencing wire, and metal casings for munitions.
