CANADIAN TRADE

CO-OPERATION OF N.Z. GOOD FEELING BETWEEN COUNTRIES “Canadian people are ready and anxious to trade with New Zealand, and this feeling ‘is shown by the fact that Canada’s purchases of New Zealand goods have increased during the past two years by a very large amount, and have now reached the total of £900,000,” safd the Minister of Justice for Canada, the Hon. Ernest Lapointe, yesterday. “Canadian exports to New Zealand have been keeping pace with the natural increase of importations,” he continued. “Canada’s participation in the New Zealand Exhibition at Dunedin and New Zealand’s exhibit at the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto show the mutual desire of the two Dominions for inter-Empire trade. Canada’s feeling towards New Zealand is exemplified by her extension of the benefits of the Australian trade agreement to New Zealand and to New Zealand alone. “It must not be overlooked that Canada buys a fair amount of New Zealand wool through English houses and before the wool is consumed it has lost its New Zealand identity. The best of feeling has always existed between the two countries and it is the desire of the Canadian Government that these relations should be extended and cemented.”
