New Zealanders Count on
Scenery, Lambs for Dollars
By ERIC BENTON
Wellington, New Zealand, Sept. 15 Thl country ! going
to try to fell icenery and lamb to Americana to help meet the
dollar crisii.
New Zealand finds It difficult to prune her dollar spending
bv 25 tier cent along with other British commonwealth countries.
-'The reason is that dollar spend-
ing already Is down almost to
the bare bones.
Two years ago New Zealand
cut imports of American news
print, motor cars and other con
sumer goods. Not one new li
cense to import American auto
mobilea has been issued this
year.
New Zealand will cut dollar
spending still more. She likely
will stop importing timber from
the east coast of America, cut
down on other import. She will
seek more newsprint, farm trac

Harlequin joey, the seat

but the Jester's stool, where all
the fun starts.
In one of the Ringling Bros,
and Barnum Sc Bailey circus super-spectacles,
Lou won death
less fame by his hilarious mug
ging and comedy with a harp as
one of "The Fiddlers Three.
His terrific facial and bodily
contortions filled the big top with

You can't miss him. He does

forget that Bobby was once a
Ringling clown.

The government is sending
iRoy M. Firth, a good salesman
and assistant manager of the
tourist department, to the Unit
ed States to sell . New Zealand
from a tourist angle.
Meanwhile, the government is
getting ready to welcome dollar
spending Americans.
All state-owned hotels and
tourist houses have been told to
spruce up their ideas of service.
They also have been granted
liquor licenses. Even New Zea
landers say there are not enough
drinking places in the country.
New Zealand is a great pri
mary producing country. She
hopes some of her products will
win more U.S. dollars.
Almost all her surplus meat,
butter and cheese goes to Bri
tain. The flag-loving New Zea
landers want this to go on.
But New Zealand government
men, worried by the dollar prob
lem, think some lamb can be
sent to the United States with
out much loss to Britain. The
quantity being talked of is two
shipments in a year something
over 10,000 tons.
Butter is another potential
dollar earner, but men close to
the government see a political
snag here. New Zealanders are
rationed to eight ounces a week
They will stand this rationing
only as long as all the surplus
goes to Britain,
If the government decides to
send butter to U.S. and retains
the ration, the labor party will
lose a lot of votes in this year's
general election
New Zealand also is trying to
plug a dollar leak in the resale
of New Zealand wool to the
United States by continental
buyers. All New Zealand hip-
pers of wool now are required
to sign a declaration of the ulti
mate destination of wool exported.
