CITRUS FRUIT.
EXPORT TO NORFOLK ISLAND. AUSTRALIA IN A DIFFICULTY. AN ANOMALOUS PROCLAMATION. United Press Assn.—Eloc. Tel. Copyright. (Received July 16, 11 a.m.) CANBERRA, July 16. The recent proclamation prohibiting the export of citrus fruit to Norfolk Island has placed the Commonwealth Government in a difficult position. The' Commonwealth has always contradicted the contention .that the New Zealand Government ban on Australian oranges was necessary to eliminate the danger of introducing the Mediterranean fruit fly, but the proclamation stated that the object of the ban on the export of fruits to Norfolk Island was to prevent the introduction of the fly there. It is likely that the proclamation will be amended.
