N.Z. Farmers Union Chiefs Visit Indies
(Rcc. 2.30 p.m.) BATAVIA, Nov. 20. Captain Rushworth and Mr. A. E. Robinson, chairman and secretary respectively of the Auckland Provincial executive of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union, are making an investigation trip in the East Indies on their own initiative to find new markets for New Zealand products, and, also eventually to effect a barter agreement, exchanging meat and fruit for coffee, kapok, spices, etc. Opportunity Awaits They told Pressmen that New Zealand can offer large quantities of fruit, which is now partly rotting on the trees while in the Netherlands East Indies and Malaya good apples are almost unobtainable. They claimed that shipping space between New Zealand was not used in the most efficient way. More cargo could be shipped without using more ships. As a result of their purely informal talks they are hopeful, but final argeement could only be reached by an intermediary from both Governments.
