A FAIR DEAL

ORANGE GROWERS' AIM

THE AUSTRALIAN PRODUCT

(By Telegraph—P-ass Association.)

INVERCARGILL, September 3,

Mr. C. Mueller, representative of the Murray Citrus Fruit Growers' Co-opera-tive Association (Australia), Ltd., who is visiting Invcrcargill, said today that ho had hoard that his presence in New Zealand had been questioned, and he explained that there was nothing sinister-in an organisation having its market representative watching its interests in all markets.

"We aim at a fair deal all round, and if I consider a client has been badly treated I am on the spot to adjust the difference," he said. "This is no reflection on your merchants, many of whom are just as eager as I am that satisfied clients should be the order of the day. I have been criticised for being appointed to allocate quantities to the various centres. Somebody had to do it under the quota fixed by the New Zealand Government, otherwise one port would have been swamped and one would have been without. On the matter of the embargo I think New Zealanders should bear a little more with their Government in its negotiations with Australia. • Both countries are faced with quite difficult problems. Both produce the same goods, and your Government at the present stage, I am sure, would not be doing its duty to turn back."
