EAST INDIES TRADE
AUCKLANDERS’ QUEST POSSIBLE BARTER PLAN EFFICIENCY IN SHIPPING (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn ) (Reed. Nov. 21, 1.30 p.m.) BATAVIA, Nov. 20. Messrs. 11. W. Rushworth and A. E. Robinson, the chairman and secretary respectively of the Auckland Farmers' Union, are making an investigation trip in (he Netherlands East Indies on their own initiative to find new markets for New Zealand products and also eventually to effect a barter agreement, changing meat and fruit for coffee, kapok, spices, etc. They told pressmen that New Zealand can offer large quantities of fruit which is now partly rotting on the trees, while in the Netherlanri East Indies and Malaya good apples are almost unobtainable. They claimed that shipping space between the Netherlands East fndies and New Zealand is not used in the most efficient way and more cargo could be shipped without using more ships. The results of the purely informal talks were hopeful, they said, but final agreement could only be reached through the medium of both Governments.
