MR FORBES IN ENGLAND
VISIT TO POTTERIES, A CIVIC WELCOME. ‘ (Received 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, June Mr and Mrs G. W. Forbes, Sir James Parr, and a representative from the New Zealand Produce Board wex:e given a civic welcome at Stoke and visited the Hanley, and Tunstall works. They also attended a reciprocal trading demonstration. A store, all laden with New Zealand products, was arranged to celebrate New Zealand’s, decision to admit British table china duty free. Mr Forbes, speaking at a luncheon, pointed out that New Zealand’s imports of British pottery amounted to £122,000 in 1934, compared with £93,000 in 1933. Over half of New Zealand’s imports came from Britain and 74 per cent from the Empire. New Zealand could double her agricultural production within five years, but this was useless unless she had assured payable markets. Every effort should be made to expand in-ter-imperial trade instead of thinking in terms of restriction.
