THE DOMINION'S EXPORTS
NOT AFFECTED BY BRITISH - RESTRICTIONS. From the cabled list of articles .which may not now bo imported into Britain, it appears that New Zealand is not likely to find the market for her products restricted: . The Hon. Wi D. S. Mac Donald. referring to this matter yesterday, said that he did not. consider that the new policy at Home could possibly affect New Zealand. AVith the exception of woo!, hemp, hides, and skins, our exports consisted almost wholly of food products. Wool and hides were being purchased by the Imperial Government, and hemp appeared to be in strong'demand. And, of course, all the meat and cheese we could produce were urgently necessary.. Butter, while not so urgently needed ■as cheese, was still necessary'. In metals practically our only exports were of gold and scheelitc. All our gold would no doubt be acceptable, and scheelite was used in the manufacture of special steel used for arms and munitions.
