I DOMINION'S PROSPECTS

MEETING MUTUAL NEEDS BUSINESS MAN'S MISSION ; T will remain in New Zealand about one month and expect to confer with Government officials and business men concerning mutual trade." said Mr. J. David Larson, trade counsellor to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, who arrived by the Monterey from Los Angeles yesterday. "We are seeking a number of your products, including butter, if some of the obstacles can be overcome. On the other hand, if we have products which New Zealand seeks, I will be glad to discuss them with those interested. "Since my visit to New Zealand in April some improvement has been made in the commercial relationship of our two countries. A number of our Los Angeles manufacturers and distributers have been in touch with your business institutions seeking to buv some of your products. \\ e have nad capable co-operation from your Department of Industry and Commerce. Both Governments have lifted embargoes which were detrimental to mutual trade. "While I realise that we still have many commercial problems to overcome in the interest of better trade relationship, the problems can best be overcome oy rriemiiy contact and better understanding of the problems. -The visit of the lit. Hon. G. W. Forbes. Prime Minister of New Zealand. and party, to Los Angeles and California, was appreciated and we regret the party did not have more tim£ to meet more of our leaders. Mr. Forbes' visit to President Roosevelt was valuable in the creation of better understanding between two peoples whose interests are identical."
