IMPORT EMBARGO
MODIFICATION AT END OF YEAR MR NASH’S ANTICIPATION. LETTER TO MANUFACTURER IN BRITAIN. (By Telegranh—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, July 18. Prospects of release of the imports embargo at the beginning of the New Year were held out by the Minister of Finance, Mr Nash, in a letter to a leading English biscuit manufacturer, a copy of which was received today by an Auckland wholesaler.
The letter - states that the embargo on certain imports is to be regarded as a temporary measure, compensating for previous excessive imports, which, in some cases, had built up stocks to abnormal levels. Mr Nash adds:—
"As soon as we are in a position to do so —the present restrictions operate till the end of 1939—imports will be resumed to the full extent of our ability.”
“We have no wish to pursue a policy of isolation or self-sufficiency,” says Mr Nash, “and most of all we are anxious to maintain and extend our trade both ways with Great Britain.”
