GERMAN TRADE AGREEMENT
Sir, —In your issuo of October 12, a letter appears on above subject from Mr. W. S. Lang, and his assertions are true, but are not the main issue to our premier customer. Every credit must be given to the Hon. Mr. Nash for his energy and ability in seeking new markets for our produce in Germany, and concluding one on such satisfactory terms, and also for his journey, it is presumed on the same errand, to Russia. Of course markets for our produce are essential to our existince; but our first and big consideration should be that Great Britain should be on the best terms, for not only is it our best customer, but without it we could not exist as we are. I fear New Zealand suffers much from insularity, and its vision is mostly selfish. It is about timo we awoke from our dream of arcadia, and realised how much we owe to our Motherland, and try to amends, instead of living in castles of sajid the wind must rudely sweep away in an hour of need. Apkicitt.
