TRADE WITH CANADA
EXTENSION OF TREATY NOT YET CONSIDERED. By Telegraph—Prpss Association WELLINGTON, Sept. 25. “No consideration has yet been given by the Cabinet to the question of an extension of the Canadian New Zealand trade agreement expiring in about two months’ time,” said the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes) in reply to a question this evening. The original agreement expired on May 24 last, but in view of the then approaching World Economic and Monetary Conference in London, it was considered advisable by the Governments of the two countries to preserve the status quo by extending the agreement for a further six months. This extension expires on November 24. Mr Forbes said that there was no foundation whatever for the statement cabled recently from Vancouver that the treaty would be renewed for another year with slight modifications, and that under the new arrangement the Canadian Government was to keep New Zealand exporters fully advised several months ahead as to how they should govern their shipment schedules.
