The Consul General at Sydney (Wilson) to the Secretary of State

Sydney, December 29, 1937—1 p.m.
[Received December 29—8:55 a.m.]

Referring to section 3 of my cablegram of December 23. Using as a basis import statistics of 1935–36 Squire estimates that 5.63 per cent of our total trade is still being kept out. In other language 35.6 per cent of goods previously prohibited are still prohibited after giving the Commonwealth Government full credit for quotas on prohibited items.
