INDUSTRIAL ERA
“New Zealand Undeveloped” MANUFACTURERS’ OPINION By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, March 16. In an address to the women’s auxiliary of the Manufacturers’ Association Mr. F. L. Hutchinson, president of the New Zealand Manufacturers’ Federation, said: “The present position of our industries gives cause for grave concern. Indutrially we are undeveloped. We have our Industrial era before us. Failure to develop internally has caused, and is causing, New Zealand to lag behind other countries in recovery. People are realising this, and it may safely be said that force of conditions will make this country to turn to manufacturing development with the same zeal that it has shown in developing the agricultural Industry. “There are signs of upheaval in men’s minds upon, this subject,” he said, “and it is gratifying to find that our legislators are aware of this change and are turning their attention more than ever before to the great second line of defence against national economic stagnation."
