NO RESTRICTION

WELLINGTON, This Day. The I'romier, questioned by Uio Grey Star correspondent, slated it ■was not the intention of the New Zealand Government lo follow the English or Australian lead respecting the restriction of imports, the Dominion being in a different situation from both countries, its exports so enormously exceeding its imports. There is, so far as he can judge, no need to take such a step to curtail expenditure. Regarding tonnage, Mr. Massey .said lie had been able to arrange with the Australian Government not to take four New- Zealand traders now discharging there. Thus they would be available for Homeward New Zealand loading. The Home authorities took two New Zealand boats instead of one as at first reported. He had cabled asking their release, which will occur in a week or two. The supply of tonnage would consequently not bo so scarce as last season.
