IMPERIAL TRADE
EXPANSION DESIRED MR FORBES SPEAKS AT STOKE POTTERY IMPORTS (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, June 13. The Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes and Mrs Forbes, Sir James Parr and the representatives of the New Zealand produce boards were welcomed at a civic reception at Stoke. They visited Hanley, Burslem and Tunstall and attended a reciprocal trading demonstration. A store laden with New Zealand products was arranged to celebrate New Zealand’s decision to admit British table china duty free. Mr Forbes, speaking at a luncheon, pointed out that New Zealand's imports of British pottery amounted to £122,000 in 1934 compared with £93,000 in 1933. More than half of New Zealand’s imports came from Britain and 74 per cent, from the Empire. New Zealand could double her agricultural production within five years, but it would be useless to do so unless assured of payable markets. Every effort should be made to expand inter-imperial trade instead of thinking in terms of restriction.
