Referring to the Tecent decision of a meeting of business, people at Auckland requesting the Government to prohibit, during the currency of the war, the export of hides and skins to countries other than to the British Empire, and to her Allies; also suggesting an appeal for support in the matter from other centres, Mr H. G. Hill (general manager of the Bristol and Dominions | Producers' Association) stated to an i "Otago 'Daily Times" reporter on Tues- ] day evening that he had received a cablegram from IBristol a few days ago on | the question. The communication stated that the British Government was urgently in need of hides and skins, and it was suggested that every endeavour should be made, from a patriotic standpoint, to get consignments. The intimation gave an assurance that Great Britain was prepared to pay as high a price for these commodities as could be obtained in other markets. Mr Hill mentioned that the question- was dealt with some time ago by the 'Central Chamber of Commerce at "Wellington, which had recommended the Government to prohibit the export of foodstuffs to other countries, , as well as the export of hides and skins.
