The effect of the Government’s import restrictions was soon felt by members of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce party of tourists on their arrival in New Zealand. The leader of the party, Mr Albert Case, told a representative of “The Press” in Christchurch that his family was very fond of chewing gum, which was extensively used in America, and found tha their buying was restricted to certainbrands and quantities when, they reached the Dominion.

The United States manufacturers had to obtain their supplies from South America.
