IMPORTS BAN
MOTIONS OF PROTEST
(Per Press Association.—Copyright.)
WELLINGTON, April 28. Stating'thstt the restrictions placed on imports for the second period would bring about a complete dislocation of trade throughout New Zealand and create hardship and unemployment and increase costs to consumers, Mr David Hogg, president of the United Kingdom Manufacturers’ and New Zealand Representatives’, Association, opened a general meeting of members this morning 4 , called to carry three resolutions framed by the Council of the Association.
Mr Hogg reviewed the import position during recent years, and said that the total prohibitions were a bleach of the trade agreement between Britain and the Dominion, and would probably lead to retaliation. Mr Hogg moved the resolutions. The first urges the Government to remove restrictions on British imports. The second asks the Government to institute an inquiry into the underlying causes of the depletion of the London funds, and the third, that the position of British exporters and their representatives in New Zealand be placed before interested associations in Britain with a request for urgent support of the first resolution. The discussion is proceeding.
