GARMENTS FROM U.K.
“No Suggestion Of Dumping”
(N.Z. Press Association)
WELLINGTON, March 19. The New Zealand Woollen Mills Association had not meant to imply that Britain was dumping garments in New Zealand, the association's director, Mr R. O’Shea, told the Tariff and Development Board today. He was explaining a statement in the association’s submissions to the board at the request of Mr R. Richardson, representing the export group, National Wool Textiles Executive, Bradford. Mr Richardson questioned the association’s submission that “the fact that New Zealand is an export market for other countries with huge local markets enables those countries to make special prices for export.” Asked if this statement implied dumping, Mr O’Shea said it did not Mr Richardson: Are you saying that the United Kingdom reaps profits at home and then sells at dumping prices? Mr O'Shea: It was suggested that a large proportion of cloth was made in Britain and at the end of a season of bad purchasing it could be sent to New Zealand as the latest thing in fashion. There was no suggestion on my part of dumping.
