IMPORTS FROM BRITAIN
REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS URGED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND. December 20. "Importers in New Zealand are anxious to assist the Mother Country in her drive to increase exports, but feel they are impotent to assist in this and restrictions imposed on imports war effort because of the prohibitions from the United Kingdom." says a statement issued by the Bureau of Importers.
"Now that most of our exportable products have been sold to Britain at favourable prices for the duration of the war, the position of sterling balances should be greatly improved. The bureau considers the present would be a favourable time for the Government to remove entirely the restrictions on importations from the United Kingdom with a view to assisting Britain in Iter war efforts. The sterling position should so improve that rationing would no longer be necessary. This should enable .control to revert to the trading banks." The statement also points out that trade witli neutral countries which Britain has lost must be made up by increased exports to other Empire countries in order to maintain capa- > city to finance a long war
