BUY BRITISH.

HON. MR ANDERSON'S ADVICE. IPSISJ ASSOCIATION TILEQEAM.) NELSON, February 3. In the course of his remarks at the opening of the Takaka Show, the Hon. Mr Anderson said that unless our experts were at least seven millions in excess of our imports, the country was not prospering. It was therefore necessary to foster the goodwill of our best customer. Britain, by purchasing her goods wherever possible. "We should buv British cars and not putchnse from America, who dealt with us to a very small ester.t and lied prevented us from "having a market in that country l;y imposing a heavy protective tariff on i our poods. Many ill-advised ciitics were urgms 1 the Government to bring in tor settlement large areas of puur third and fourth cla»« land, but it wns tho Government's policy to keep tho men at present on the land on their holdings, and not to open up land for other new settlers to face the difficulty of making it pay. One form or 1 assistance being given in this direction I was the Government's endeavour to supply tho farmers with fertilisers m I cheaply as possible.
