INDUSTRIAL ADVANCE IN NEW ZEALAND
Minister Expresses His
Satisfaction
Satisfaction with the progress made by New Zealand industries was expressed by. the Minister of Industries and Commerce, Mr. Sullivan, at a dinner in Wairoa on Saturday night. Some argued that New Zealand should leave manufacturing to the older countries, but it was important to remember that with the possibility of war severing communications such a policy would mean that all those now profitably employed in making articles and producing goods would have to find employment in primary industry—an impossibility. Th< Minister referred to the close watch being kept on prices for the Price Investigation Tribunal, and declared that the Government would not hesitate to use the full powers vested in it under the Board of Trade Act or the Prevention of Profiteering Act, to see that the consuming public was not exploited.
