"BUSINESS AS USUAL"
NEW ZEALAND'S IMPOSSIBLE DEMANDS. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Reuter's Telegrams. LONDON, May 22 (delayed). Tho 'Board of Trade Journal,' referring to New Zealand complaints -regarding the unsatisfactory nature of British manufacturers' replies to Now Zealand agents' inquiries since tho armistice as to how they intended to prosecute post-war trade, emphasises the fact that Britain has been tui"ned industrially upside down by the war. The ' Journal' asks how British manufacturers could, under the circumstances, specify the conditions of post-war trade when the supply and prices of materials, amount and cost of labor, shipping accommodation, and freights were all unknown and not calculable. Tho 'Journal' adds: "It is unjust to conclude,* therefore, that the British manufacturers are indifferent to the New Zoaiand market and not appreciative of New Zealand conditions."
