TRADE WITH THE UNITED KINGDOM

(To the Editor.) Sir,—ln view'of the statements beirijx, made by various parties that New Zealand I is already giving the United Kingdom | manufacturers a. fair. deal,, the following extracts from letters just .received from two members in London show how they feel in the matter:— '.. ■ 1. ''Everything possible is apparently being done to shut out English goods, and we cinnot under the circumstances support jour association, any longer." .2. 'In any case, it "is quite impossible tor us to; do business- with New Zealand m the circumstances ruling at the present time. The 'high tariff alone," apart horn the managed rate of exchange, woiilil be sufficient to keep our goods out. We regret, therefore, that we cannot remain members of your association. If and when the New Zealand Government :is in a . position to remove the. . handicaps mentioned above, we might then reconsider . the .• matter." ■" ■ . . '"..,...
