(Received December 8, 1.45 p.m.) LONDON, December 7. "New Zealand will not make a trada agreement with any country until the United Kingdom's requirements are satisfied. I hope to succeed in .my endeavour to get an expanding market here for our products," declared the New Zealand Finance Minister, Mr. Walter.
