BUTTER FOR THE INDIES
AUSTRALIA NEGLECTING OPPORTUNITIES.
ACCORDING TO DUTCH VISITOR.
Australia is not seizing its opportunities to extend its trade with the Netherlands East Indies, according to Mr Th. van Roer. who has been appointed by the war time Administration of the Indies to find new sources of supply for products formerly imported from Holland.
Mr van Roer arrived recently in Sydney to begin a search for highquality Australian butter, and he plans to spend six months in Australia and New Zealand.
"Australia could get much more trade with the Indies than she has at present,” he said to an interviewer. "The products required there are delicatessen goods, chocolates, jams, tinned fruits, and condensed milk." Mr van Roer blamed lack of effort to produce the best for Australia's past failure as a butter exporter to the Indies.
If he found butter of the desired quality. Mr van Roer said, it would also be exported to the West Indies and to England under the name of HJ. Wijsman and Sons, dairy produce exporters of Amsterdam, whose interests. with those of other exporters, were being watched by him, as head of the Bureau for the Promotion of Netherlands Industries in the Dutch East Indies.
