N.Z.’S TIES WITH BRITAIN
HOMELAND COMES FIRST, SAYS MR NASH I \ (Received 3 p.m.) LONDON, December 7. “New Zealand will not make a trade agreement with any country till the United Kingdom’s requirements are satisfied,” said the visiting Minister of Finance, Mr Nash, at a guest luncheon of the Empire League. “I hope to succeed in my endeavour to get an expanding market here for our products,” he said. Mr Nash added: “New Zealanders have embedded in their hearts love for the British Commonwealth and the person at its head. We hope nothing will be done to shake the tie that binds us together.” The chairman, Mr L. S. Amery, a former Dominions Secretary, referred to the part New Zealand had played in an endeavour to save British Shipping in the Pacific, and said that unless more vigorous steps were taken, it was in grave danger of being driven off every sea by the subsidised concerns of other powers. New Zealand had given a lead as to how that'competition was to be faced.
