MR JORDAN AT HULL
URGED TO DEVELOP TRADE WITH THAT PORT Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, February 13. _ The suitability of Hull as a distributing port for New Zealand produce was stressed by speakers at a civic dinner in honour of Mr Jordan and Mrs Jordan. They urged Mr Jordan to help to develop the trade. Answering a query if he could give a hint how the disadvantage of the 25 per cent, increase on the rate of exchange could be got rid of by Britain, Mr Jordan said that until New Zealand and Australia were on a parity with Britain it would be useless for New Zealand to lower it. New Zealand was prepared to refuse to accept goods from foreign countries, although they were much cheaper. They could get three yards of cotton piece goods from Japan for tho price of one in Britain, but they were prepared to give absolute preference to Britain.
