AUSTRALIAN MERINOS
IMPORTANCE TO DOMINION RE-EXPORT FURTHER DENIED [by TEL EG It/. PH —-PRESS ASSOCIATION] "WELLINGTON. Friday That there is any possibility of Australian, stiul Merino sheep which _ are imported into New ..Zealand finding their way into other countries, against which Australia has an embargo, was emphatically- denied by /the president of the Marlborough Merino Breeders' Association, Mi 4 . S. T. Richmond, in an interview to-day. "I can give a guarantee that not one sheep imported from Australia toNew Zealand has ever been re-exported to South Africa or to any other country," said Mr. Richmond. "We give a bond to the Australian Government, that we will use the sheep only in our own studs." Referring to the suggestion of a writer in a Sydney paper that it might be desirable for the Commonwealth Government to prohibit the export of sheep to New Zealand, Mr. Richmond said this would be disastrous for New Zealand breeders. "Our studs are so extremely small that it has been, and will continue to be, impossible to maintain them in any satisfactory state without continuous importations from Australia," he said.
