PRODUCE POOL.

LONDON CRITICISM. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COFSTBIQHT LONDON, May 13. Replying to the letter cabled "yesterday, other importers of New Zealand produce, signing themselves the majority, write; "The only difference of opinion is whether the creation of a compulsory pool is the best and only means to secure economies and greater efficiency in distribution of New Zealand produce, or in the producers' beat interests. It may be that the five correspondents, as agents, or promoters of the pool, feel themselves safeguarded as regards supplies, but no satisfactory assurance has been offered to the rest of the trade, who are naturally loth to run the risk of scrapping their organisation in deference to the wishes of the promoters of the compulsory pool, who may find themselves unable to carry out effectively all the good intentions with which they are at present animated."
