DEBTS TO BRITAIN
ALWAYS HAVE BEEN & WILL BE PAID MR LANGSTONE ON CURRENT ■ PROBLEMS. INTERVIEW IN LONDON. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day. 10.40 a.m.) LONDON. May 24. “New Zealand has always paid her debts and will continue to do so,” Mr F. Langstone (N.Z. Minister of Lands) t told English and Australian journalists. He added: “A creditor has responsibilities as well as a debtor, and must see that the debtor is able to pay.” Mr Langstone admitted that the import restrictions might be hard on in-> dividuals and firms, both in England and New Zealand, but the Government must be free to decide whether their or the national interests are more important. The Government desired expansion of trade, but it was impossible to have planned economy with exchange restriction. Discussing the position of wool producers, Mr Langstone said the Government does not seek trouble but will .j** l not refuse to face facts if the situation arises.
