Chocolate from Czechoslovakia
very important' question is surely opened up by the 'Food Minister's reply to the question as to why we are importing Czecho- slovakian chocolate, to which Janus draws attention in your issue of June 23rd. It seems strange to be told that chocolate is being imported because we must sell our manufactured goods to Ciechoslovakia, when we have always assumed that the country is being asked to forgo many things it would like to have so that our manufactures may be exported !in exchange for essential, or almost essential, imports. It would be difficult to imagine a private manufacturer of wireless sets saying that he must continue their manufacture in order to exchange them with the Japanese for rickshaws.—Yours faithfully, F.
