SALE OF FLOUR
POSITION OF DISTRIBUTORS LIMITED. By telegraph.—Press Association. New Plymouth, July 10. In further reply to the Chamber of Commerce regarding the sale of flour by Distributors, Ltd., the Minister of Commerce, while recognising that the company is in a position to exercise a certain control which may in various directions be undesirable, points out that this monopolistic position is not dependent upon or due to the duty on flour, which is imposed for the encouragement of wheat-growing, and is necessarily involved in the imposition of a duty on wheat. The Minister also says that, pending t>e hearing of the appeal case between the Government and Distributors, Ltd., before the Privy Council, it does not seem possible or reasonable that any action should be taken bv the Government.
