FRUIT EMBARGO
TRADE WITH AUSTRALIA
Mr. J. Heane, chairman of the Australian Fruitgrowers' Federation, referring to the danger of admitting fireblight through, importation of New' Zealand fruit, said that, on the other hand, the volume of business done by fruitgrowers with New Zealand waa1 so substantial as to warrant.almost any steps being taken to secure its retention. Last year's figures showed. that", something like £200,000 worth, of business was done by the growers of the Commonwealth with New Zealand. The figures were made up as follows:—Oranges £119,870, lemons £9359, pineapples £6386, .other fresh fruits (probably mostly cherries and grapes) £28,707. Mr. Heane suggested, that, in view of the fact that other commodities, besides fruit were prohibited by Australia, the Commonwealth Government might reasonably be asked to negotiate with. New Zealand in respect to these, commodities, with a view to a relaxation which would compensate New Zealand for the loes which they now appeared'to think they were suffering from through the embargo against their apples.
