FRUIT INDUSTRY
DELEGATION TO RARATONGA By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, September 23. The House of Representatives resumed at 3 p.m. Practically the whole afternoon was occupied by the presentation of the report of the Industries and Commerce Committee, which recommended that the report of the delegation which visited Rarotonga to investigate the fruit industry should be referred to the Government for favourable consideration. Mr J. Robertson, Mr S. G. Holland and Mr C. L. Hunter spoke of the conditions in the islands, as outlined in the delegation’s report. The Prime Minister (Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage) thanked the delegation for the interest they had shown in the matter. The problem was not a new one, and was practically a shipping matter. The delegation had done its work well, and their efforts would not be in vain. It was not only a matter of the Cook Islands but of New Zealand, as New -Zealand needed fruit. The report was tabled.
