IMPORTS OF BRITISH MANUFACTURES
CRITICISM BY CANTERBURY BODY RESENTED (PIIKSS ASSOCIATION TKLEGBAM.) WELLINGTON, January 28. Statements by the Canterbury Manufacturers' Association that British manufacturers were unable to fulfil certain orders for the New Zealand market were challenged at a meeting of the United Kingdom Manufacturers' and New Zealand Representatives' Association, to-day. Its secretary was instructed to communicate with the Canterbury Manufacturers' Association asking for details in support of its contention. It was felt that the statement was unjustified and that the position had been unduly magnified. It was stated that the December bulletin of the Department of Overseas Trade contained a list of some of the orders totalling millions of pounds recently received from almost every country in the world. This was held to afford sufficient indication of the ability of United Kingdom firms not only to quote prices competitive with those of overseas competitors but also their capacity to make delivery of goods in accordance with the requirements of their oversea purchaser. It was emphasised that there was no question of neglect of Dominion markets by British manufacturers.
