The -only available source of supply at present is Austr=a,ll'a. Unfortunately the Australian Grovernm-=.lt, fearing; a shortage in the Co:uln«.)n—--wealth, absolutely prohibited expclt. Mr Massey has been‘ in constant com"Inllllicr;lt;7ml__'with thie \Commonwealth Government with a View to securing the release of at least ,g.uflicient to meet New Zealand’s immediate needs, and the effoit has so far been. sueeesseful in that the Commonwealth Government has agreed to allow the export of 3000 sons, Although this is not cnoqgh‘ to supply the demand in New Zealand, it willhelp to tide over our worst diffi—cultics this season. Mr Masesy is still" in eolnnlunieatioli with the Australian Government, and is not Withouthope that 21 further quantity may soon be released.
