PROMOTION OF TRADE

Visitor from Los Angeles UNDERSTANDING SOUGHT Dominion Special Service. Auckland, November 3. “I will remain iu New Zealand about one month, and expect to confer with Government officials and business men concerning mutual trade," said Mr. J. David Larson, trade counsellor to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, who arrived by the Monterey from Los Angeles. "We are seeking a number of your products, including butter, if some of the obstacles can be overcome. On the other hand, if we have products which New Zealand seeks, I will be glad to discuss them with those interested. “Since my visit to New Zealand in April some improvement has been made iu the commercial relationship of our two countries. A number of our Los Angeles manufacturers and distributors have been in touch with your business institutions, seeking to buy some of your products. We have had capable co-operation from your Department of Industries aud Commerce. Both Governments have lifted embargoes which were detrimental to mutual trade. "While I realise that we still have many commercial problems to overcome in the interest of better trade relationship, the problems can best be overcome by friendly contact and better understanding of the problems. “The visit of the Prime Minister of New Zealand aud party to Los Angeles aud California was appreciated, and we regret the party did not have more time to meet more of our leaders. "Mr. Forbes’s visit to President Roosevelt was valuable In the creation of a better understanding between two peoples whose interests are identical.”
