JAPAN TRADE
Lower Duty Forecast (N.Z. Preu Association) WELLINGTON, April 12. A Wellington economist warned today that New Zealand would have to make concessions to Japan to ensure a place for tills country’s goods on the growing Japanese market. Mr W. D. Rose, senior research officer of the Institute of Economic Research, said the most obvious of these would be a lowering of the tariff rates down towards, and, if need be below, those charged on British goods. Addressing the Victoria University Political Science Society on "New Zealand, Britain and the Common Market,” Mr Rose said that, although New Zealand’s present level of exports to Japan —£2s million—was relatively small, it had grown rapidly and could be expected to continue to do so. Within the last 10 years Japanese demand for mutton had grown from nothing to a point where this year one Japanese importer had complained of New Zealand’s Inability to supply his demands.
