TRADE PLANS

MB. NASH'S MISSION NEGOTIATIONS IN ENGLAND UNLIKELY BEFORE OCTOBER EXTENDED STAY INDICATED [BY TKIjKGRAPH —SPECIAL REPORTER] WELLINGTON, Friday There is little likelihood of the Minister of Finance, Hon. W. Nash, leaving for England before October, according to a statement made in an interview to-night by the Prime Minister, Mr. Savage. Mr. Nash will be making the trip principally as Minister of Marketing to arrange for the distribution in Great Britain of the Dominions dairy exports under the Government s marketing scheme and also to discuss general trade matters and if possible to negotiate a trade agreement with Great Britain. "Our aim is to have the Budget ready for presentation as soon as possible after the House of Representatives resumes on July 21," Mr. Savage said. "Mr. Nash naturally will handle the Financial Statement and he will also pilot through the House the bill giving effect to the Government's policy for the general readjustment of mortgages. Before his departure he will naturally wish to see that the machinery of the new Department of Marketing is operating satisfactorily and it does not seem thfit it will be possible for him to leave before October. "No time-limit of a few weeks will be placed on the duration of Mr. Nash's stay in England. There are big problems to be tackled and to my mind Mr. Nash should remain in England until satisfactory solutions have been found. I expect he will still be in England when I arrive in London next May for the coronation and the Imperial Conference."
