TRADE EMBARGOES
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ABOLITION LEAGUE FORMED IN SYDNEY SYDNEY, Feb. 6. Mr. R. B. Walker, who represents a large citrus-growing electorate which includes Gosford and Hawkesbury River, speaking at a meeting of citrus growers, said that the New Zealand Prime Minister, Mr. M. J. Savage, had told him that if Australia would show the slightest willingness to discuss the embargo on New Zealand potatoes off would come the New Zealand restriction on New South Wales citrus fruit. The meeting, which consisted of representatives of the recent conference of citrus growers, formed an Embargo Abolition League of Australia. SUBSTANTIALLY CORRECT STATEMENT BY MR. W ALKER PRIME MINISTER CONFIRMS REPORT ( Per Preae Association.] WELLINGTON. Feb. 6. “The statement by Mr. Walker is substantially correct,” said Hon. M. J. Savage, when a cable message from Sydney was brought to his notice this evening. “I told him New Zealand would go as far as Australia was prepared to go. After all, we should be able to rise higher than potatoes or fruit. If there was a war, Australia and New Zealand would be standing together, and I cannot see why we should not be able to do the same in trade,” said Mr. Savage.
