THE C.O.D. SYSTEM.
DEPUTATION TO PREMIER. (Per Press Association.) DUNEDIN, March 27. "The C-O.D.' system has grown from £4OOO to £150,000 in seven years, and what it will be in another seven vears I cannot possibly imagine," said Mr J. Sutherland Ross (president of' the Dunedin Manufacturers' Association) at an executive meeting Jast evenines. Mr Ross stated that they had been informed that only the International Postal Conference could deal with this matter. As Mr McNamara (Secretary of the Post and Telegraph Department) was now on his wav to the conference in London, he certainly thought that Sir Joseph Ward should be approached in the matter of instructing Mr McNamara to cut out the system absolutely as far as New Zealand was concerned. A deputation from the Association waited on the. Prime Minister (Sir Joseph Ward) to-day in regard to the matter, but it was held in private, and no statement has been issued tothe Press.
