BUTTER BOXES FROM NEW ZEALAND
STOPPAGE OF EXPORT TO NEW SOUTH WALES SYDNEY, April 22. The conference of butter and cheese factories in Sydney discussed the stoppage by the New Zealand Government of the export of 30,000,000 ft of New Zealand white pine for butter box making in New South Wales. The conference asked that the Minister of Commerce should negotiate with the New Zealand Government on the matter. There is an acute shortage of suitable timber for box making and the factory representatives declare that the New Zealand Government, in prohibiting the export after contracts were signed, had committed an illegal act. Negotiations are now in progress with timber merchants in Borneo, who state that they are able to supply suitable timber. Tests are also being made with woods from various other countries.
