Trade With Great Britain
NEW ZEALAND’S PART United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, Dec. 3. Speaking at a dinner tendered to him by the Corporation of Sheffield, the New Zealand Minister of Finance. Mr. W. Nash, said that New Zealand was prepared to offer Britain all tho proceeds of its sales to Britain for the purchase of British goods. Tho recent New Zealand legislation, he said, requires that the United Kingdom be placed first in all the Dominion’s trade negotiations. New Zealand in the first nine months of 1936 bought from the United Kingdom manufactured goods of a value of £12,250,000, which was nearly as much as for the whole of 1935. The two countries were probably the world’s best illustration of almost balanced bilateral trade, but there was still room for expansion, especially if the Dominion’s sales of produce to Britain expanded as they should.
