“Plenty of people, both in Australia and in New Zealand, deplore the way the two countries are drifting apart as the result of their antagonistic tariffs,” stated a well-known Wellington commercial man to a “Post * reporter on Tuesday. “Australia and New Zealand are practically putting every obstacle in the way of trade interchanges between them; and yet at the same time they both recognise the desirability of a greater interchange of visits between their peoples. Australians who come here often feel that the New Zealand tariff is not sympathetic to them, and New Zealanders who visit the Commonwealth iiave quite a similar mentality towards Australia. I hold that Australia started this tariff antagonism; and I recently surprised an Australian, who was complaining about our tariff, by telling him as much in pretty straight language.”
