GOVERNMENT DIFFICULTY
CITRUS FRUIT BAN PLY PEST AS REASON AMENDMENT LIKELY (Klnc. Tel. Copyright—United Tress Assn.) (Reed. July 16, 11.45 a.m.) CANBERRA, July 16. The recent proclamation prohibiting the export of citrus fruit to Norfolk Island has placed the Commonwealth Government in a difficult position.
The Commonwealth has always contradicted the contention that the New Zealand Government ban on Australian oranges is necessary to eliminate the danger of introducing Mediterranean fruit fiy, but the proclamation stated that the object of the ban on the export of citrus fruits to Norfolk Island was to prevent the introduction of fly there. It is likely that the proclamation will be amended.
