ORANGES AND POTATOES
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day,
A suggestion that returned soldiers' organisations in New Zealand and Australia should take a hand in trying to bring about a settlement of the dispute between, the Dominion and the Commonwealth/regarding- potatoes and oranges was made by Mr. W. E. Leadley, president of the Christchurch R.S.A., at the annual'reunion1 of the Australian Imperial Forces Association on Saturday evening.
"Year.by year this ; dispute drags on and the people :of both countries are suffering in consequence,", he said. "To my mind the time has arrived when ■Anzacs in New Zealand, and Australia should make a determined effort to end this dispute, and I suggest that the New' Zealand R.SA; conference and the' conference ,o.f the Returned Soldiers and Sailors Imperial League of Australia should both pass resolutions strongly urging their, respective Governments to settle this dispute at the earliest possible moment, as it is not shared by the people and is contrary to. the spirit of Anzac."
