CITRUS FRUIT PRICES
Sir.—We learn from Mr G. L. Rogers, secretary of the Canterbury Fruitbuyers’ Association, as reported on Thursday, that, were it not for State control, we should have to pay Is for a single orange. But since the Internal Marketing Department came into existence, there has been a continuous increase in the cost of the commodities handled. The fact that citrus fruits are in short supply is the reason for the exorbitant price, and supply is the responsibility of the department that Mr Rogers extols.—Yours, etc., L. ROLLINGS, President, Consumers' League. September 18, 1942.
