N.Z. FOOD PRODUCTION
PRIMARY ROLE IN WAR (P.A.) DUNEDIN, Wednesday. "New Zealand's greatest contribution to the cause of the United Nations must be the development of its agricultural production, and this object will have to be regarded as even more important than its industry," said Sir Walter Layton, head of" the British Press delegation in an interview to-night. "Even if the Dominion were to do nothing else it would more than justify its existence by maintaining a base from which the United Nations could synchronise the movements of the armies, navies and air fleets to be launched against Japan." The role of the food producers, Sir Walter said, was not a dramatic one. but was just as essential as that of the Dominion fighting men, whose deeds were now legendary.
