Sir James Allen, as a result of his Belgian visit, is impressed with the importance of a direct shipping service from New Zealand to Antwerp. He hopes the Belgians' present disposition to buy mutton will be extended l».ter to lamb. Antwerp has already erected cold storage in anticipation of trade with Argentine, which at present is competing successfully, but direct trade with New Zealand would probably become supreme. Sir James Allen, referring to his visit, said he inspected the increased cold storage and shipping accommodation at Antwerp, which was outdistancing Rotterdam as the chief port of the European mainland. The Belgians, in return for their taking more. New Zealand meat and butter, wanted New Zealand to take more European goods. He pointed out_ that New Zealand had a tariff against countries with depreciated currency, and that any change of policy was a matter for the New Zealand Government.
