LIMITATION OF IMPORTS MINISTER ANSWERS CRITICISM (United Press Assn.—Eiec. Tel. Copyrlgh!) NEW YORK, April 6 In an interview with the Herald Tribune the Australian Minister to the United States, Mr R. G. Casey, answered cirticism regarding the limitation by Australia of imports from the United States. He suggested the restoration of normal trade balances by the readjustment of the type of goods exchanged. Mr Casey reminded the United States that Australia purchased 10,000.000 dollars worth of United States aircraft and machine | tools. “We cannot afford luxury im- ! ports,” said Mr Casey. “The Mar | effort is the first consideration. Australia's dollar scarcity is ; likely to be more marked dur- ! ing ihe course of the war.” | He als% advocated co-operation ; between Australian and American | woolgrowers to check the drift of United States consumers toward artiliicial fibres.
