TRADE AFTER WAR
CONTROLS MUST STAY
MR. WASH'S OPINION , The opinion that New Zealand would have to continue its import and export control after the war to protect its trade and its manufacturers was expressed by the Minister of Finance (Mr. Nash) in the course of his election address at the Petone Labour Hal! last night.
"It's impossible for this country to develop itself to the full if it lets controls go on imports and exports," he said. New Zealand had agreed, with other countries, to reduce tariffs subject to existing obligations, but it had never agreed to let its manufacturers be subject to competition from the whole world. All this was inside the Atlantic Charter, and it was not true to suggest that that meant the abandonment of tariffs and controls.
"I hope we will have a large import and export trade," said Mr. Nash. "We will have to find a way of importing commodities or else we will never get paid for what we send away."
