N.Z.'S GREAT PROGRESS
PRAISE FOR .MANUFACTURERS
Congratulations were extended to the manufacturers of the Dominion by the Minister of Munitions and Supply, Mr. Sullivan, when he met the council of the' Auckland Manufacturers' Association. In ratio to population, New Zealand had made greater progress during the last few years than the Commonwealth of AustraHapthe Minister said. .. Referring to the' remarkable progress made by manufacturers to maintain the war effort, Mr. Sullivan said he had always been, conscious of the fact.that New Zealand possessed a high type of citizen, and the workers in industry had more than the average intelligence. That was the reason for. the progress that had been made. New Zealand workers had had practically no experience in precision work and similar operations prior to the war. Nevertheless, during the last two years they had helped in the building up of great industries. It was a fine effort that perhaps had not been fully realised or appreciated by the people of the Dominion.
