SUGAR FOR JAM.
FAVOURITISM ALLEGED. WELLINGTON, January 13. A deputation from the Fruitgrowers’ Federation interviewed the Hon. Mr Lee, Minister of Industries and Commerce, regarding supplies of sugar for fruit preserving and jam-making. Complaint was made of the fact that some people obtained bags of sugar, while others were unable to obtain more than a pound or two. Mr Leo said it was impossible to devise a scheme which would prevent all such instances of favouritism, but the best possible was being done. He had given attention to the matter of securing extra supplies, and hoped to do something quickly. The Minister also promised to have trade with America investigated, with a view to sufficient freight being obtained to warrant shipping being put on to revive the fruit export trade.
