The firm, under the import regulations, has had its exports of toilet soap to New Zealand cut by 50 per cent.
In another instance, a large English manufacturer of toilet soap and other toilet preparations was prepared to .allow the purchase money for sales to remain in New Zealand for a substantial period under the arrangement announced by the Government.
Its~ offer to trade up to the full quantities without drawing on sterling funds, made through its Auckland .agents, has been refused by the Government.
