IMPERIAL TRADE.
SEARCH FOR POLICY. GOVERNOR-GENERAL’S ADVICE. “1 have no fears for the agricultural and pastoral future of this country, and 1 am going Home to endeavour in some way to advance it.” stated His Excellency the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, when speaking at a function arranged by the Manawatu and West Coast A. and P. Association yesterday. “I feel confident,” he added, “that whatever the transient issues between farmers in the Old Country supported by the British Government and those of this country, they are not likely to be lasting controversies, leading to disaster to both. In other words, we have to find —and mean to find —some Empire trade policy. I feel that some measure of agreement —1 will not call it a compromise—on these lines can bo arrived at.” Subsequently, speaking at a public function in the Square, His Excellency said: —“Now, as regards trade issues, care must be taken that the delicate thread is not severely strained by any huckstering spirit on either side, or by insularity of outlook and consequent distortion of the sense of proportion.”
