N.Z. POTATOES.
AUSTRAIdA LIFTS EMBARGO. TASMANIAN PROTEST. CANBERRA, April 5. Following Mr. Latham's statement in the House of Representatives regarding the lifting of the embargo on New Zealand potatoes, Mr. Bell, of Tasmania, asked if it was conceivable that potatoes from New Zealand should be admitted to Victoria, while Victoria continued to impose an embargo against Tasmanian potatoes because of disease prevalent also in New Zealand potatoes. Mr. Latham said that the Government recognised the anomaly, and the matter was under consideration. GROWERS RESENTFUL. OPINION IN TASMANIA. HOBART, April 5. There is strong resentment throughout the potato-growing districts of Tasmania at the action of the chairman of the Tasmanian Potato Marketing Board in instructing the marketing officer at Sydney that the board was not opposed to the lifting of the embargo on New Zealand potatoes. Meetings have been held and a telegram of protest sent to the Prime Minister.
