MONOPOLY IN NEW ZEALAND
Sir, —If the present trend is to continue here, it will not be long before ‘private enterprise” and State enterprise alike in New Zealand will be at the mercy of giant monopolies overseas. If what one reads is correct our inland airlines, the cement industry, etc., etc., are in future to be controlled by these greedy, profit-making concerns, and it takes little imagination to realise what will happen to producer and consumer alike when they really apply the stranglehold. One could wish that in New Zealand's interests the intense dislike to State enterprise shown by some of our Ministers might be modified a little. In encouraging “monopoly” here they endanger our whole future and are asking for trouble.—Yours, etc.. H. T. WILLIS. August 9, 1950. [This letter was referred to the Prime Minister (Mr S. G. Holland), who had no comment to make upon it. —Ed., “The Press.”]
