AUSTRALIAN FRUIT
NEW ZEALAND'S EMBARGO STATEMENT BY MR NASH (From Our Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, Oct. 6. Cabled comment from Sydney that the Australian Minister of Defence, Sir Archdale Parkhill, had held discussions with members bf the New Zealand Government during his visit last week regarding the embargo imposed by the Dominion against the importation of Australian fruit was the subject of comment by the Minister of Finance (Mr W. Nash) in an interview this evening. "The matter was certainly raised by Sir Archdale," Mr Nash said, "but it could not be carried any great distance. As has been previously stated, one of my first tasks after my return from my approaching visit to England will be to open up official discussions with the Commonwealth Government on the question of reciprocal trade. The question of fruit and potatoes will then be given prominence."
