Cook Is. Tomatoes Dumped on

N.Z. Markets

Auckland, July 10.

representations that regulations should be made preventing the flooding of the N.Z. markets by Cook Is. tomatoes have been made at the annual conference of the Dominion Tomato, Soft Fruit, and Produce Council at Wellington.

It was claimed that it was unfair that growers paying high labour and other ex penses, should be liable to be robbed cf a fair return for their labour by the sudden dumping on the local market of up to 10,000 cases at a time of Islands fruit, which was grown under entirely different labour conditions.

Members of the Cook Islands delegation, who were present, promised to bear the representations in mind in the course of their inquiry in the Group.
