TRADE DISPUTE
AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND POTATOES AND ORANGES APPEAL TO RETURNED SOLDIERS’ ASSOCIATIONS [By Telegraph - Press Association] CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. A suggestion that returned soldiers’ organisations in New Zealand and Australia should take a hand in trying to bring about a settlement of the dispute between the Dominion and the Commonwealth regarding potatoes and oranges was made by Mr W. E. Leadley, president of the Christchurch Returned Soldiers’ Association at the annual re-union of the Australian and Imperial Forces Association on Saturday evening. “Year by year this dispute drags on and the people of both countries are suffering in consequence,” he said. “To my mind the time has arrived when Anzacs in New Zealand and Australia should make a determined effort to end this dispute, and I suggest that the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association conference and the conference of the Returned Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Imperial League of Australia should both pass resolutions strongly urging their respective Governments to settle this dispute at the earliest possible moment, as it is not shared by the people and is contrary to the spirit of Anzac.”
