IMPORTED OAK.
In your issue of Monday, under the hpadin 0 of "English Oak," Mr. J. H. Beale makes some mis-statements which I am sure you will allow me to correct. The Manufacturers' Association is not concerned about the use of English oa for furnishings at the new Auckland railway station because (1) English oak is not .specified—merely quartered oak. (2) Little, if English oak is imported into the Doininjo , the oak used being of foreign origin, main y Manclmrian or Japanese, produced by c . ? labour. The Mamifacturers' Association is opinion that as many overseas visitors 1 embark at Auckland —"The Gateway to .a'c Zealand"—and proceed by rail, it is & ? that the furnishings in question should e New Zealand timbers, as not only WOT I keep the money in our own country and_i P a New Zealand industry, which M r -. e ' describes as crippled, but it M-ould a>o a good advertisement for our timber. J .FINDLAY, _ Secretary, .Manufacturers' Association.
