QUESTION BY MR. WILKINSON. (By Wire—Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, Last Night. It is tho intention of Mr. 0. A. Wilkinson to ask the Minister of Industries and Commerce whether, in view of the reported potato famine in Australia, where potatoes are selling at £2O per ton, he will immediately endeavour to bring about a better understanding with the Commonwealth authorities in the direction of having the embargo on New Zealand potatoes removed. “It might bo suggested,” he said in the House of Representatives to-day in giving notice of the question, “that when tho market price in either country reaches an agreed price .jpqfatoes should enter both countries free of duty.”
