MARKETS IN EAST INDIES DEVELOPMENT URGED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. MELBOURNE, May 9. Mr J. Tonkin, officer in charge of tho Eastern trade section of the Federal Department of Commerce,'* has issued a report in which he makes a plea for the development of a better understanding between the Australian people and tho Dutch East Indies. He adds: “ There exists throughout the East Indies an insistent demand for manufactured and semi-manufactured foodstuffs from countries of temperate climes- ’’ He points out that the natives are unable to produce many of their own requirements, and he suggests that Australian exporters could participate to a greater extent in dried fish, fresh and canned vegetables, dried and canned fruits, cereal foods, sauces, pickles, cheese, tobacco, honey, condensed milk and cream. Australia, however, already had a monopoly of butter and flour.
