A woman shopkeeper was disqualified because her Empire I window-display contained Almeira grapes. She said, “Well, it's in Spain and so is Gibraltar." Supporters of the application emphasised America’s competition with Canadian apples. Mr. Manhire, on behalf of \ New Zealand, stated that America was keeping apples on the British market the twelve \ months through. — A. and N.Z.
