ARTIFICIAL TRADE BARRIERS
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND Wellington, Aug. 17. Commenting on the statement by the New Zealand Minister to Australia, Mr Barclay, at Gosford concerning the necessity of doing away with artificial trade barriers between Australia and New Zealand, particularly with regard to potatoes and oranges, the president of the New Zealand Fruit and Produce Merchants’ and Auctioneers’ Federation states that Mr Barclay is on the right lines. Present trade barriers have grown up over the last 20 years and it is as ridiculous for Australia and New Zealand to raise barriers against each other as it would be for the North Island against the South. One year in three Australia would be short of potatoes and onions and New Zealand would have an oversupply. When we were short we should be drawing from Australia. War experience has shown us that Australia. New Zealand. Fiji and other islands must wbrk, trade am plan together.
