TRADE WITH BRITISH AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES.

""To-day, Mr Lewis asked the Pre- c mier whether he will this session J afford the extension of the Commerce J Committee, or a Committee specially * appointed for the purpose, an oppor- a tunity of inquiring into this Colony s trade* relations with British and Foreign countries respectively, especially with reference to British t and foreign methods of securing i trade, and the reason w by New Zea- t land is obliged to obtain from foreign t countries goods whioh British coun- f tries could supply. The idea is that the report of the Commitee, together with the evidence, should be sent to the British Board of Trade.
