A New Zealand firm has received from Scotland the following letter, stating that the action of the dockers there may have the effect of lessening the ex[port of Scotcli whisky to the Dominion: ["We beg to advise you that export of Scotch whisky in meantime suspended indefinitely, owing to the attitude adopted by the dockers.* at Glasgow and Liverpool. Apparently they have the feeling that no liquor should be sent out of the country when the Government is allowing so little out of bond for consumption by the Home public. This impossible state of matters cannot, of course, continue, and we are just afraid that the Government will be forced to release more whisky and- other liquors from bond to appease the public clamor. Consequently, if this happens, then the quantity of whisky available for export will be correspondingly curtailed."
