Aluminium And Steel
Sir, —Surely “P.0.W.” thinks that the sale of £1,000,000 of New Zealand-made goods by one of our trade missions to South-east Asia in 1965 helps our balance of payments. Mr Coates’s Ashburton irrigation scheme was small and used cheap unemployed labour, while Mr Semple used fullrate men as the scheme was part of Labour’s progressive works policy. McKendrick's glassworks and the cotton mill failed because the Tory Government surrendered to pressure from vested interests who, like the greedy overseas steel and aluminium firms, want to retain their monopoly of the New Zealand market. Dear television sets are the fault of profit-hungry retailers. Yours, etc., DSILLUSIONED NATIONALIST. April 5, 1966.
