WELLINGTON, March lOt
“It is not likely that there will be any" change whatever in the present procedure until the certainty of sterling being available at ad times is achieved,’’ said the Minister for Fmanqe (the Hop, W, Wash) when, his attention was- called to a New Plymouth report that a.firm of ■ London buyers had informed their New. Zealand clients that the import restrictions would be a thing of the past in six months. The Minister said that if ..New Zealand manufacturers were to expand their businesses they must have security, and the position of the manufactures must always be safeguarded. A comment made by the Prime Minister (the Hi. Hen. M. J, Savage) on the same subject was to the effect that there was no justification whatever for the London statement. ~ •• No one could say what would happen in six or 12 months’' time, and he was not going , to. attempt to say it. "I have said from the very beginning that our methods may change from time to time with the changing conditions, but- our objective will never alter. Yfe have to safeguard New Poland. industry.” ,
