"NO DEFEATISM."
N.Z. MANUFACTURERS.
TRIBUTE BY MINISTER.
(P.A.) OHRISTCHUKCH, this day.
"Manufacturers and their employees can and will produce an increasingly large proportion of the goods required by the Dominion," said the Minister of Industries and Commerce, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, when saying farewell at Hanmer this morning to the delegates who attended the. conference of the New Zealand Manufacturers' Federation, which concluded to-day. The conference was the largest and most widely representative ever held by the federation.
The Minister expressed hi*> pleasure at the opportunity which the conference had afforded him of discussing with manufacturer, both individually and collectively, their problems. The most pleading feature to him was the complete absence of anything in the nature of defeatism. Manufacturers, in common with the rest of the community, undoubtedly had problems and difficulties arising out of the war situation, but they were tackling their job with determination and a spirit of confidence. At the end of his address, Mr. Sullivan was given an ovation.
