FRUIT FLY MENACE.
AUSTRALIA'S DILEMMA. (Received 10 a.m.) CANBERRA, this day. The recent proclamation prohibiting the export of citrus fruit to Norfolk Island has placed the Commonwealth Government in a difficult position. The Commonwealth always contradicted the contention of the New Zealand Government that the ban on Australian oranges was necessary to eliminate the danger of introducing Mediterranean fruit fly, but the proclamation stated that the object of the ban on the export of citrus fruits to Norfolk was to prevent the introduction of fly there. It is likely that the proclamation will be amended.
