POTATO EMBARGO
MOVE EY FISHMONGERS IN SYDNEY.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. SYDNEY, February 8.
The Master Fish Merchants Association has asked members to boycott potatoes.
The secretary of the association said that members would unanimousously observe the boycott. “Fishmongers have to pay as much as £3O a ton for Australian potatoes,” he added. “In New Zealand potatoes are £4 a ton. Because of the absurd embargo in Australia on New Zealand potatoes, we cannot buy them. As a protest we have imposed this boycott.”
ANOTHER PROTEST.
•RUTHLESS PROFITEERING” BY TASMANIANS.
(Received This Day, 11.20 a.m.) SYDNEY. This Day.
A meeting at the municipal markets of wholesale buyers and sellers of vegetables decided to demand that the ban on New Zealand potatoes be lifted temporarily to counter “ruthless profiteering” by Tasmanian growers.
