DAIRY MARKETING

NEGOTIATIONS AT HOME. MR NASH’S TASK. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 12. There is little likelihood of tho Minister of Finance (Hon. W. Nash) leaving for England before October, according to a statement made in an interview to-night by the Prime Minister (Rt. Hon. At. J. Savage). Mr Nash will bo making the trip principally as Minister of Marketing to arrange for the distribution in Great Britain ol the Dominion’s dairy exports under tho Government’s marketing scheme, and also to discuss general trade matters and, if possible, to negotiate a trade agreement with Great Britain. “Our aim is to have the Budget ready for presentation as soon as possible after the House of Representatives resumes on July 21,” Air Savage said. “Air Nash, naturally, will handle the Financial Statement, and he will also pilot through the House a Bill giving effect to the Government’s policy for a general readjustment of mortgages. “Before his departure he will naturally wish to see that the machinery of the new Department of Alarketing is operating satisfactorily, and it does not seem that it will be possible for him to leave before October. “No time limit of a few weeks will he placed on the duration of Air Nash’s stay in England. There are big problems to be tackled, and to my mind Air Nash should remain in England until satisfactory solutions have been found. I expect he will still be in England when I arrive in London next May for the Coronation and the Imperial Conference.”
