MUTUAL TRADING.
WITHIN EMPIRE.
New Zealand Representatives
Visit Stoke
CIVIC WELCOME EXTENDED
(United P.A.—Electric Telegraph— Copyright) (Received 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, June 13. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Forbes, Sir James Parr and a representative from the New Zealand Produce Board were given a civic welcome at Stoke and visited the Hanley, Burslem and Tunstall works. They alsta attended a reciprocal trading demonstration. A store, laden with New Zealand products, was arranged to celebrate New Zealand's decision to admit British table china duty free.
Mr. Forbes, speaking at a luncheon, pointed out that New Zealand's imports of British pottery amounted to £122,000 in 1934, compared with £03,000 in 1933. Over half of New Zealand's imports came from Britain, and 74 per cent from the Emoire.
New Zealand could double her agricultural production within live years, but this was useless unless she had assured payable markets. Every effort should be made to expand interim perial trade, instead of thinking in terms of restriction.
