TRADE WITH CANADA.
TREATY EXTENSION. NOT YET CONSIDERED. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Sept. 25. 'No consideration has yet been given by Cabinet to the question of an extension of the Canadian-New Zealand trade agreement, expiring in about two months’ time,” said the Prime Minister (Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes) in reply to a question this evening. ‘‘The original agreement expired on May 24 last, but in view of the thenapproaching World Economic and Monetary Conference in London it was eousidered advisable by the Governments or the two countries to preserve the status Quo by extending the agreement tor a turther six months. Tins extensl°h expires on November 24.” .Mr Forbes said there was no foundation whatever for the statement cabled lecently from Vancouver that the treaty would be renewed for another year with slight modifications, and that, under the new agreement, the Canadian Government was to keep New Zealand exporters fully advised several months ahead as to how they should govern their shipment schedules.
