"TAKEN LONG TIME"
FINDING EXCUSE
MR. SAVAGE IN REPLY
♦'It has taken them a loig time to discover that excuse," said the .'rime Minister (the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage), when referring today to comment by Mr. Lyons on the Australian embaigo position. "The restriction on-'-iports of Australian goods is a recent development. This other thing has been going for years and the New Zealand Government has still sufficient intelligence to be able to realise that New Zealand stands to gain oy expanding trade not only at Home but abroad. Any control of imports is for the purpose of seeing to it! that we have something in the nature of fair and even dealing, and that cannot be said of the position between Australia and New Zealand today, where purchases of Australian goods by New Zealand amount to £7,000,000 while Australia purchases from us goods to the value of somewhere about £3,000,000."
