WELLINGTON,

16:
Premeir
Forbes
stated
today
that,
unless
Canada
was
prepared
to
buy
New
Zealand
butter,
his
government
might
be
compelled
to
consider
the
withdrawal
of
the
application
of
the
British
preferential
tariff
on
motor
cars
imported
from
Canada.
4It
is
unfortunate,"
Premier
Forbes
said,
"that
the
importation
of
New
Zealand
butter
should
have
been
made
an
i?sue
in
the
recent
general
election."
However,
he
hoped
that
better
counsels
would
eventually
prevail
as
he
did
not
wish
to
adopt
retaliatory
measures.
Canada,
he
said,
had
the
advantage
of
being
able
to
get
her
manufactured
goods
into
New
Zealand
as
British
goods,
this
being
a
tremendous
advantage
particularly
to
