PUBLIC NOTICES. A WARNING! OCTOBER 11, 1918. '"A. PROPHET HATH NO HONOUR IN HIS OWN COUNTRY." Acknowledged bv the RIGHT HON. W. F. MASSEY And RIGHT HON. SIR JOSEPH WARD. Also BY CHAMPION'S PEOPLE. WHY KEEP THE AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRIES GOING. TO THE IttJlN'ATION OF OUR OWN, WHEN MONEY IS REQUIRED FOR WAR LOANS, SHRINKING REVENUE AND UNEMPLOYMENT? Wo think the time has arrived to resuscitate Dominion wheat growing, ere it is too late, by putting our protective duties on a parity with the Australian ones, frliich have made Australia 0110 oi tho granaries of the world, at reasonable prices, AS UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS IT' HAS ALWAYS HAD A SURPLUS. Under normal conditions, grain contributes about three-fifths of the Canterbury railway revenue, without mentioning its numerous adjuncts. If grain growing is killed, what would make sood tho railway and labour deficiencies, us on the raw material there are always two labour handlings, but not so on the important manufactured articles? Just imagine North and South Canterbury and North Otago luicc sTicep runs, and would not this serious and short-sighted innovation affect land values and all kinds of labour, augmented with the shipping ports, Lyttelton, Timaru, and Oamaru, in a state of collapse? Without liian and sharps, how would our bacon, dairy, poultry and carrying industries exist in the event of an AUSTRALIAN DROUGHT? TS IT BUSINESS-LIKE TO SEND OUR MONEY.TO AUSTRALIA FOR OUR FOOD SUPPLY WHEN IT IS SUBJECT TO DROUGHTS. AND FOR WHAT WE CAN GROW IN ABUNDANCE TN THE DOMINION?—AS ABOUT HALF THE VALUE IN ALL "INSTANCES TS LABOUR AND RAILAGES. AND WITH OUR LADS .RETURNING EMPLOYMENT MUST BE FOUND FOR THEM. OTHERWISE THEY WTLL GO ELSEWHERE. AND WE WILT, BECOME OBSOLETE, THOUGH. IN OUR INFANCY. P. VIRTUE. Manager, Northern Roller Milling Co., Ltd. Auckland, October Id, 1918.
