INTER-EMPIRE TRADE
Australia And New Zealand
Chamber In London. SIR J. PARR, PRESIDENT. (Received 1 p.m.) LONDON, February 1. Sir John A. Cockburn, presiding at the annual meeting of the Australia and New Zealand Chamber of Commerce, declared that the Empire's future was dependent on inter-Imperial trade and the safeguarding of industries.
The chamber elected Sir James Parr, High Commissioner for New Zealand, as president.
Referring to the Merchandise Marks Act, Sir James Parr said New Zealand was anxious to have all imported foodstuffs marked with the country of their origin. The Board of Trade decided that honey should be labelled "Empire" or "foreign," which was helpful to Australia and New Zealand, but it would be more helpful if the Commonwealth and the Dominion co-operated in a campaign to induce retailers themselves to label it "Australian" and "New Zealand," respectively.—(A. and N.Z. and Sydney "Sun.")
