THE PRICE OF BREAD.
The Auckland Master Bakers' Association is apparently greatly perturbed at the action of those bakers who are able to sell their bread at present prices, and they want prices raised. In the same breath the master bakers endeavour to find a scapegoat and denounce the poor old wheatgrower and the wheat and flour duties. I wonder if the public of New Zealand is aware of the fact that these Auckland bakers are using large proportions of imported flour, much of which comes f'rom U.S.A., for which they pay. more than for the New Zealand article, if they used the New Zealand article only, as is done in practically all other parts of New Zealand, they would have ample margin of profit and still be able to sell their bread at present prices. If the Auckland bakers are sincere in their object, let them first of all eliminate the use of imported flour and go for the New Zealand article, which is just *as good and which in the South Island makes just as appetising bread without the introduction of imported flour.
