TRADE HOPES
Better Basis Between N.Z. And Australia DISCRIMINATION DENIED Rec. 2,30 p.m. SYDNEY, this day. Mr. A. 0. Heany, secretary of the New Zealand -Associated Chambers 'of Commerce, said to-day his hopes for a better basis for post-war Aiis-. tralian-New Zealand reciprocal trade had been considerably raised by the announcement of the forthcoming meeting of Australian and New Zealand Ministers for the purpose of implementing the recent trade agreement. It was hoped the meeting I would result in some adjustment of the £4,600,000 trade difference. j There was no justification for assuming there was undue discrimination by New Zealand against 'Australia in the matter of tariffs, he added. In fact, of the tariff schedule taken as a whole, Australia I received the same favourable treatments as Canada, and by reason of the trade agreement was better off jthan South Africa. He hoped that in 'trade matters the Australian Governments would cease viewing New Zealand as virtually a seventh State of the Commonwealth and would recognise the Dominion as a sovereign State with full rights to decide her own destiny.
