HINDRANCES TO TRADE
DOMINION AND AUSTRALIA CONFERENCE WANTED ‘Things are coming to such a pass that it will soon be impossible to do any business at all with Australia.” Jtn these words, Mr. Harvey Turner, a member of the Auckland Fruit and Produce Merchants’ Association, commented on the hindrances to trade in produce between Australia and New Zealand at the meeting of the council of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon. The Fruit and Produce Association, i in a letter to the council, said that i potatoes, which were essential foodi stuffs, could not be sent from either j country to the other because each had I declared an embargo. This situation j might continue, even though potatoes
I were selling in one country at famine j rates and the other had an exportable surplus.
The association felt that the present state of affairs was most discreditable. It suggested that the New Zealand Government should call a conference of producers, merchants, and all others concerned, to go into the matter and see if a remedy could be found. The council decided to endorse the j suggestion of the Produce Association 1 that a conference be held.
