EXPORT OF FRUITS
COMMONWEA'. TH OFFICIAL INCONSISTENCY United Prf»R? A«4«nrintinn —Bv Electric Telegrenh Unrivrlcht CANBERRA, July 16. The recent proclamation, prohibiting the export of citrus fruits to Norfolk Island, placed the Commonwealth Government in a difficult position. The Commonwealth always contradicted the contention of the New Zealand Government that the ban on Australian oranges was necessary to eliminate the danger of introducing the Mediterranean fruit fly, but the proclamation stated that the object of the ban on the export of citrus fruits to Norfolk Island, was to prevent the introduction of the fly there. It is likely that the proclamation will be amended.
