‘Peyton Place' wheat saga
(From o:<r Own Reporter) , WELLINGTON. Nov. 14 ‘ Another episode in what the Speaker (Mr Whitehead) termed “A continuing story similar to ‘Peyton Place’,, occurred in Parliament today when in answer to questions by Mr R. L. G. Talbot (Nat., South Canterbury) the Minister of Overseas Trade (Mr Walding) gave some more facts about New Zealand’s wheat position. Mr Walding, speaking for the Minister of Trade and Industry (Mr Freer), said that 15,000 tons of Australian wheat had already been imported, and that a further 15,000 tons were likely to be required before January 31 “The Wheat Board has already approached the Austra lian Wheat Board and is satisfied that supplies will be available from Australia to meet New Zealand’s requirements for next season," Mr Walding said. The Wheat Board would have to pay the world price for next season’s imports, but it would be a matter of speculation to attempt to assess the price at this stage, said Mr Walding. The Speaker’s comment about “Peyton Place” was made after Mr Talbot ami several other members had tried to lodge supplementary questions. He disallowed these.
