SALE OF SCRAP IRON.
PURCHASE BY JAPAN. QUESTION ,IN PARLIAMENT. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Friday. The House of Representatives met at 10.30 this morning. Mr W. E. Barnard (Labour — Napier), asked the Prime Minister whether he had satisfied himself as to the general use to which the scrap iron purchased by Japanese agents in this country for export to Japan, was being put, and whether any New Zealand State Department was disposing if scrap iron to Japan. Mr Forbes said all the information available was that scrap iron was not being used for other than commercial purposes, lie understood the Railway Department was taking advantage of the most favourable market for the disposal of scrap iron in this way. The debate on the second reading of the Tomato Gardens Registration Bill was continued. The Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. G. E. Macmillan, in reply, said it was the policy of the Government to give every industry an opportunity to organise itself so long as such a course did not conflict with the public interest. The Bill was read a second time.
