N.Z. EMBARGO ON SCRAP IRON
«. JAPANESE VISITOR'S IMPRESSIONS INTERVIEW WITH PRIME MINISTER MR SAVAGE'S VIEWS RECORDED IN TOKYO (CTTTZD PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPTBIOHT.) (Received October 30, 12.15 a.m.) TOKYO, October 29. Mr Bunshirow Suzuki, a director of the newspaper "Asahi," who is visiting New Zealand, has cabled from Wellington the result of an interview with the Prime Minister (Mr Savage). He states that Mr Savage said the New Zealand embargo on the export of scrap iron was not intended as discrimination against the Japanese, but to protect New Zealand's own steel industry. Mr Savage added that he desired to foster Japanese trade, but British trade must come first. Mr Suzuki comments: "As New Zealand is without a steel industry to protect, it seems Mr Savage placed an embargo to placate the Labourites and forestall worse action by the latter."
