ADVANCE SOUGHT
FRUIT FOR LOCAL MARKET MINISTER'S VIEWPOINT [BY TF.LKGRArn PRESS ASSOCIATION*] WELLINGTON, Tuesday In view of the low prices being realised for fruit on the local market this season, the Government is to be asked to advance to growers a portion of the subsidy on fruit sold before June 30, 1938. A remit to this effect was adopted by the annual combined conference of the New Zealand Fruitgrowers' Federation and the New Zealand Fruit Export Control Board in Wellington. The subject was raised by the president of the federation, Mr. T. C. Brash, after the Minister of Marketing, the Hon. AY. Nash, had opened the conference. "The question is a difficult one," said Mr. Nash. "I cannot see how it could be worked out, nor the practicability of it until we know what the realisation is for the season. I do not see how we can make advance payments, but .1 should be glad to discuss the matter further. I can, however, give an assurance that at the earliest possible moment we can ascertain the realisation figure, we will pay out the money due to the industry."
