N.Z. BUTTER.

GOOD MARKET IN U.S.

[THE PBESS SpecUl Service.]

AUCKLAND, November 5. TVarm praise for New Zealand butter and the wish that more of it could to marketed to the highly paid millions of tke United States was voiced by an American banker who arrived by the Aorangi from Vancouver. Ho is Mr Marion M. Miller, president of the Homo Bank and Trust Company, Toledo, Ohio, who has come to make a motoring tour of New Zealand extending over about a month. Mr Miller will study the social and economic conditions here and in Australia before returning to America. Speaking as a banker, he said that his State was not commercially in touch with the

Dominion, although it had business relations with Australia. He had, however, heard of this country's reputation as one of the world's great dairy producing lands. "I wish you people could send us more of your excellent butter," he said. ''l have sampled it on shipboard and ■without doubt it' is the finest 1 have ever tasted. It is certainly superior to anything we have 'over there' and t-hould have a wonderful market in America if you could bring it to the notice of the masses." Consumption of dairy produce in the United States was becoming phenomenal and the demand was growing ahead of the supply. A great factor in this was the purchasing power of the people through the excellent employment conditions which had obtained for the past five years. During that time there had been almost full emplovment throughout the country at wages higher than the country had ever known. '"The result of that is that the people, the employed classes, have had a long taste of the good things of life' and its material comforts," said Mr| Miller. "Having had that experience ( there is a determination to continue it as a full diet."
