Trade not vital issue — P.M.
PA Wellington The Prime Minister (Mr Muldoon) does not see trade issues as the main topic for his discussions in Japan during a visit he Will make there next month. If necessary he would take up such matters, but he had not seen trade issues as the main point of his visit, Mr Muldoon said yesterday. Documents, he had seen covering the Japanese request for New Zealand to
voluntarily cut back on its exports of butter mixes to Japan had indicated some progress was being made towards a settlement of the issue now under negotiation between officials of the two countries. Mr Muldoon said he was not sure that a decline in New Zealand’s log exports to Japan represented a form of trade protectionism. He thought it might reflect a cutback in over-all Japanese purchasing.
