Trade With China
Sir, —Readers will appreciate Mr R. B. Miller’s excellent report on China. I agree that it is high time China had reciprocal trade with New Zealand. Furthermore. China should be included in any plan for an Eastern Pacific Common Market New Zealand produces cheap, good-quality food, China produces cheap good-quality commodities. Why not a fair exchange? Like the Americans. we New Zealanders can be very stupid. Take Cuba for instance. Because we neglected to watch our interests, it is going to cost everyone more for sugar. One expert informed me the sugar rise will eat up £2 million of overseas exchange annually. It is the same with petrol and oil. At present wt pay high prices for these commodities produced overseas with slave labour. The colonial people become restive and revolt. Then we decide to squander more millions on re-armament.— Yours, etc., RALPH S. WHEELER. Timaru, May 28, 1963.
