A FRUIT EMBARGO
(To tho Editor.)
Sir,—Your correspondent "Oranges and Lemons" ha» surely no reason to complain of the scarcity of tho fruit referred to. I have had no difficulty in obtaining all tho oranges and lemons required at prices comparable with those which ruled before the embargo operated. Tho Government was quite justified in its action and I hope that it will stick to its decision. 'It is - high time that we gave some encouragement to our 'own lemon Rrowers and to the islands under our control. All sorts o£ dive consequences were promised by interested parties when the embargo first took effect, but we have had ample supplies of fruit at reasonable prices. Australia was the first to place embargoes on New Zealand produce, and let it be thb first to lift them. There in no immediate fesr f»f any scarcity of cither oranges or lemons.—l am, CtC" CONSUMER.
