MR. NASH PLEASED.

RESULTS OF CONFERENCES. TRADE EXTENSION HOPES. (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 2. In : an interview with a representative of the Australian Associated Press before his, departure to-morrow for New Zealand,.- Mr. Walter Nash stated that he was well pleased with the results of his eight months' visit to Britain and Europe. Probably the most profitable work ever done in discussions between the British and New Zealand Governments had been achieved with a view to the future plans and the extending of trade to the United Kingdom. He indicated that the results were that there was a brighter possibility for a better trade pact with Britain, although it was likely that negotiations would continue for some months j'et, and increased trade with Germany, Holland, France and Russia, particularly in regard to wool. In this connection he uttered a warning that if Britain was unwilling to get more into the wool market she would find New Zealand going elsewhere. While declining to divulge any results of the Pacific shipping and transTasinan air discussions, lie said he expected a measure of finality soon, and added that he hoped the new moat agreement quota would be further injtfreased in 1938.
