, "You New Zealanders are too modest about yourselves,. your products, and your country," said. Mr. Malcolm MacDohald before giving a glowing description of his visit to the Dominion at an exhibition of apples at the New Zealand Office to mark the inauguration" season. The exhibition was gracefully opened by Lady Hewart, wife of the Lord Chief Justice, and formerly Miss Jean Stewart. ■ ...
The New Zealand High Commissioner, Sir James Parr, who presided, referred to the hardships of growers, who had to be content with Id per pound for apples selling retail in London for 7d to lOd. •■'... '"..■'
He hoped that the meat [conference would not abandon the regulation of supplies for a bare tariff without restrictions. There were certain obvious cases, such -as fruit,: lamb, and mutton, in which regulation was clearly indicated as the most appropriate remedy in order to get payable prices.
"The tariff always has the danger," he said, "that, while raising prices for the English farmer, .it may stabilise the Dominion farmers at a perman-ently-low unpayable, l.evel of prices. New' Zealand desires to help the English farmer in every' way, but not by methods which might result 'in the present bankrupt prices for New Zealand produce becoming a permanent condition." .
