Closer Links With Aust. Predicted
(N.Z., Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 29.
Sir Leslie Munro (Nat., Waipa) predicted in Parliament tonight that the day would come when New Zealand would have to be part of, or draw infinitely closer to, the Commonwealth of Australia.
“1 cannot understand how this country can be an independent entity in the sense that it can divorce itself from the political and economic trends in Australia,” he said during the Budget debate. Sir Leslie Munro called for closer trade links with Japan and told Parliament that the best hope for the sale of New
Zealand products lay in Japan.
“I think we give the Japanese ‘most favoured nation’ treatment,” he said, “but the Japanese will be rightly entitled to require some more advantageous terms for trade than we give them at present.”
