LIFTING OF EMBARGO
NOT NECESSARILY LIMITED
TO FOUR WEEKS
CANBERRA, March 10,
The Prime Minister, Mr. Lyons, tonight deprecated any attempt to associate the New Zealand potato question with the export of oranges from Australia to New Zealand. He added that the Government's decision to allow the restricted importation of New Zealand potatoes was not necessarily confined to the four weeks mentioned.
In an official announcement Mr. Lyons emphasised that the position would be reviewed from time to time strictly in the light of Australian conditions and requirements, and that the interests of Australian growers would always be considered.
It is felt in official circles that the present limited import will provide a valuable test period from which a more permanent understanding may be derived.
