AUSTRALIA AND CITRUS
FRUIT BAN
(Received July 16, 10 a.m.) CANBERRA, This Day. The recent proclamation prohibiting the export of citrus fruit to Norfolk Island has placed the Commonwealth Government in a difficult position. The Commonwealth has always contradicted the sorttention of the New Zealand Government that the ban on Australian oranges is necessary to eliminate the danger of introducing the Mediterranean fruit fly, but the proclamation slated that the object of the ban on the export of citrus fruits to Norfolk Island was to prevent the introduction of the fly there.
It is likely that the proclamation will bo amended.
