PEOPLE SUFFERING
AUSTRALIA-N.Z. TRADE DISPUTE ANZACS MAY TAKE A HAND ( Per Press Association. 1 CHRISTCHURCH, May 3. A suggestion that the returned soldiers’ organisations in New Zealand and Australia should take a hand in trying to bring about a settlement of the dispute between the Dominion and the Commonwealth regarding potatoes and oranges was made by Mr W. E. Leadley at the annual reunion of the Australian Imperial Association on Saturday evening. “Year by year this dispute drags on, and the people of both countries are suffering in consequence,” he said. “To my mind the time has arrived when the Anzacs in New Zealand and Australia should make a determined effort to end this dispute, and I suggest that the New Zealand Returned Soldiers’ Association conference and the conference of the returned soldiers and sailors of the Imperial League of Australia should both pass resolutions strongly urging their respective Governments to settle this dispute at the earliest possible moment. as it is not shared by the people and is contrary to the spirit of Anzac.”
