POTATO SURPLUS

AUSTRALIAN MARKET FRESH ATTEMPT TO BE MADE (By Telegraph.—Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH; Sunday In an effort to dispose of more New Zealand potatoes in Australia, fresh representations will be made by the Minister of Marketing, the Hon. W. Nash, to the Australian authorities on Tuesday. In a statement, the Minister said that one of the main difficulties in the way of increased exports, particularly to South America, was the question of freight. Thousands of tons could be exported but for this problem. The 5000 tons of New Zealand potatoes to be sent to Australia had given local growers some relief, and, although there had been slight complaints about the quality of the tirst shipment, a high standard of shipments had made a favourable impression in Sydney. Shipped Well Up to Time The Minister added that shipments had been made expeditiously from New Zealand, and only a few bundled tons remained to be shipped, whereas it was proposed when exports were first arranged to snip at least 1000 tons in October. Requests for Australian acceptance lurther shipments had been delayed because of politional conditions in the Commonwealth, said Mr Nash. The Federal elections took place cn Saturday, and it would be opportune to re-open negotiations next week, when the position had clarified. Referring again to the quality of shipments, Mr Nash said that New Zealand had given Australia no room for complaints. Murmurs about the first shipment, he believed, were largely inspired by Australian merchants.
