ORANGES AND LEMONS
Proposed Embargo On Californian Fruit i RETALIATION FOR AMERI CAN BAN. [Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, Last Night, v A counter blow at the United States was advocated by the Fruit Growers’ Federation, when its annual conference unanimously adopted a motion urging the Goverment to put a total embargo on American fruit Importations. This has arisen out of the United States’ action in barring imports of fruit from *aU countries) infested by Mediterranean fruit fly and classing New Zealand among them. The Dominion has never suffered from the fruit fly pest, but a protest through the Foreign Office was ignored, and the American authorities apparently refused to accept the positive assurance of the New Zealand Government on the point.
It is now eighteen months since this legislation was passed, and growers have become impatient. At the moment, importations from California are banned because of a recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease, but now it is advocated that 'the ban should be made permanent even though this may mean risking the newly-opened market for New Zealand apples in Hawaii.
