NEW ZEALAND GOODS
MANUFACTURERS PROTEST (By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Allegations that the Empire Shopping Week League, which is promoting a display of Umpire-made goods next month, had ignored the products of New Zealand factories in its scheme aroused some critical comment at a meeting of the executive of the Canterbury Manufacturers' Association, and it was decided to launch an effective counter-attack. "We must fight these people and insist that New Zealand goods be displayed during Empire Shopping Week," said the chairman (Mr, F. L. Hutcliinson). _ I think that we need to meet the opposition promptly and to swamp it." Tho executive referred tho matter of window displays of New Zealand goods and the question of advertising in the daily newspapers to the association's Propaganda Committee. ■ The league met yesterday and decided to write to the Manufacturers' Association, pointing out that the aims of tho committee were in no way antagonistic to New Zealand goods, but were founded on Mr. L. C. M. S. Amery's address, which advocated buying Empire goods to the exclusion of those of foreign manufacturers.
