TRADE RELATIONS
N.Z. v. CANADA. DESIRE TO NEGOTIATE. Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Ottawa, Aug. 19. “We note with pleasure your desire to enter into direct personal negotiations with the least possible delay and shall take up the question of time and place as soon as it suits the convenience of the New Zealand Government after the general election.” So the Premier, the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, told the Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes in the most recent correspondence between the two Governments. This briefly summarises the present status of the trade relation negotiations between Canada and New Zealand. Referring to butter, Mr Bennett said: “Our policy is to foster this natural essential industry and we anticipate that normally Canadian producers will supply the home market, but it is probable winter shortages will recur, and in any case, so far as imports are necessary, it is our desire to give preference to supplies from reciprocating dominions.”
