CORONATION EMBLEMS
A Check on Shoddy Stuff Indicated Attention is being given by the Government to the question of allowing Coronation emblems of foreign manufacture into New Zealand. The I’rime Minister, Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage, commenting on the report from London that the British Government had imposed a temporary duty of 100 per cent, on such goods for six months, said yesterday that whatever action the New Zealand Government took would be in line with the policy adopted in Britain.
“It is not a question of getting a cheap article,” Mr. Savage added. “It is rather a matter of providing something that will reflect credit on those responsible, and something that will at least be of a design and nature that will spring from the British Commonwealth. We are not going to encourage the flooding of the market here with a lot of shoddy stuff because it’s cheap.”
