Trade With Britain
Sir.—According lo ihe Customs returns the revenue for the iicst four months, of the year shows a drop of £111.256, compared with the corresponding period of .1932. Can you wonder at Illis big drop wltcji a small shipment of nil British goods .-iinounthig to £34/2/;} landed in Wellington during April cost to put into our store the sum of £29/9/4, practically about 87|- per cent.?
What would New Zealand farmers and exporters have to say if Britain treated them in the .same way? By our practically shutting the markets of this country to the British manufacturer we are helping to create more unemployment in Great. _Briain, and .so making it impossible for British ers to buy our New Zealand products. We cannot have one-way trade, asi the U.S.A. is now finding out. — 1 am, etc.. 11.5. H. Wellington, Alay 1.
