OUR INDUSTRIAL FUTURE
SIR GEORGE FENWICK AND LORD LEVERHULME
Sir George Fenwick, speaking at a farewell luncheon tendered io him by the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce last week, said he did not egreo with l<ord Leverhulm<i that New Zealand would not become a manufacturing country. This was a manufacturing country now, and while its primarj industries must take- first place, it would become a greater manufacturing country in time. We had not the population yet, but that would be remedied. Sir George added that ho had been in Dunedin since ho landed there in 1856, and there was no other place that ho had seen in the world that had such a charm as that city. He believed that when the great Central Otago district developed, as it would develop under irrigation, Dunedin would receive a substantial fillip. r I his city was going to cake a new lease of life, aaid they must get ’.his rqalisition into their citizens. Dunedin was a progressive city, and it was going to be more progressive.
