AUSTRALIAN FRUIT.
PROTEST AGAINST EAIBAIIGO
Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Dec. 16.
An urgently called meeting of the Auckland Retail Fruit Traders’ Association this afternoon passed a resolution viewing with concern the embargo on Australian fruits on the ground that it will deprive them of a considerable part of their business and also deprive 90 per cent, of the people of the Dominion of the opportunity of buying fruit which is necessary to their health. A prominent importer said that the embargo on oranges was really serious as the Dominion was totally dependent on the Australian oranges.-The tariffs practically excluded Californian, while Island oranges were not expected till April. The embargo was justified on small fruit which were successfully grown in New Zealand..
