“The past year,’’ says the report of the twenty-seventh annual conference o£ the New Zealand Bakers and Pastrycooks’ Association, “was one of considerable unrest, due to the insufficient supply of New Zealand-grown wheat and the consequent inability of the millers to supply the flour requirements of the trade. On more than one occasion we strongly protested to the Government against the importation of Australian flour, believing that in the best interests of the Dominion it was desirable to import wheat; so as to obviate interfering with the working of the New Zealand mills, and further to minimise the amount of unemployment. Numerous protests were sent to the Government, the executive considering it manifestly unfair that wheat for the poultry trade of the Dominion should be imported free, the interests of the poultry men being safeguarded by a total prohibition ol ! imports of eggs in any form, whilst j the miller was called upon t. 6 pay a j duty on wheat, and no restriction was ! placed on the importation of flour. . . It is to be noted with regret that during the year the increase in the ' i r.'.yi Tied (lour as compared i .ounted to J was a decrease in importation of wheat j amounting to about 400,000 centals, i From the Dominion viewpoint the fig ures give cause for much anxious j thought. Gyring to the increased cost of production the millers were during j the year compelled to advance prices, j and subsequently, owing to Australian < competition, to reduce them, with the! result that there was considerable dil j Acuity in adjusting the price of bread. ! The executive is still of opinion that the attitude taken by the Government j was not in the best interests of the i milling or baking trade, to say noth ! ir.x of the Dominion as a, whole*'* l
