MR NASH'S VISIT TO BRITAIN
MOST PROFITABLE WORK ACCOMPLISHED
POSSIBILITY OF BETTER TRADE PACT MENTIONED
LONDON, July 2. Well pleased with the results of his eight months' visit, Mr W. Nash, New Zealand Minister for Finance, told the Australian Associated Press before leaving for home to-morrow that he had accomplished probably the most profitable work he had ever done in discussing with the British Government New Zealand's future plans and the extension of trade to the United Kingdom. Mr Nash indicated that the results were a brighter possibility of a better trade pact with Britain, although it was likely that negotiations would continue for some months yet. It was hoped also to increase trade with Germany, Holland, France, and Russia, particularly in wool. Mr Nash uttered a warning that if Britain was unwilling to get more into the wool market it would find New Zealand going elsewhere. While declining to divulge any results of the Pacific shipping and trahs-Tasman air discussions, Mr Nash said he expected a measure of finality soon, and added that he hoped the new meat agreement quota would be further increased in 1938.
