MORE FREEDOM DESIRED
AUSTRALIA AND DOMINION
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.), DTJNEDIN, This Day. The Auckland Chamber presented a remit, through Mr. Harvey Turner urging on the Government the desirability of bringing about a reduction in the present trade barriers between Australia and New Zealand, and endeavouring to negotiate with other countries on a suitable reciprocal basis. The speaker referred to the barriers between Australia and New Zealand on potatoes and fruit particularly. It seemed ridiculous, he said, that these two countries could not work on a better trade basis. The position seemed to be that the two countries felt aggrieved at each other's attitude. • He also felt that the time had arrived when they should try to open up reciprocal trade with other countries, otherwise New Zealand, might stand by itself and live within itself.
Mr. Machin thought they should support the remit. They might negotiate with the Associated Chambers of Aus-. tralia, and if they got anywhere they could then negotiate "with the respective Governments.
The remit was adopted. It was also decided to refer the question to the executive to see if something could.be done on the lines suggested by Mr. Maehin.
Mr. Machin added that they had received a cablegram from the Associated Chambers of Australia wishing the conference every success.
