NEW TRADE AGREEMENT
AUSTRALIA AND N.Z. FEDERAL MINISTER’S VISIT By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright. MELBOURNE. Monday. It ia probable that the Federal Minister of Trade and Customs, the Hon. H. E. Pratten, will go to New Zealand shortly to discuss with the Dominion Government the possibility of negotiating a new trade agreement between the Commonwealth and Neyv Zealand, as the existing trade agreement has been in force for several years. Recent changes In the tariffs of both countries have helped to make a review of the treaty desirable. It Is understood that the New Zealand Government favours the proposal that a representative of the Federal Ministry should visit the Dominion, so that the whole question might be discussed amicably and an arrangement be reached which would suit the trade requirements of both countries. Some difficulty Is being experienced in fixing the date for Mr. Pratten’s departure, but It Is understood that the visit will be made as soon as possible —A. and N.Z.
