THE ORANGE SHORTAGE
RETAILERS DISSATISFIED (By Telagraph—Press Association) DUNEDIN, This Day. Mr Newall, secretary of the Retail Fruiterers’ Association, stated this morning that his association was dissatisfied with the Government attempt to solve the orange problem, which failed to eliminate the cause. The indications were that there would not be sufficient oranges before Christmas to provide a single one for each member of the population and if the Government, by any means except by increasing supplies, could provide oranges, it made the loaves and fishes parable insignificant. If permission were granted, his association could land 5000 cases at half the price now fixed for supplies from Jamaico, without prejudicing future Commonwealth negotiations.
