NEW ZEALAND IN ESTEEM

'■ !** ' ' Mr. L. B. Beale, His Majesty's Trade Commissioner for New Zealand, at present in England, in the course of an interesting letter to Mr. G. O. Sutton, secretary of the British Manufacturers' Association of New Zealand, writes: "It will be difficult to convey to you the esteem in which New Zealand is held in this country, whether it is in London, in Liverpool, in Manchester, or in Glasgow. One hears the same expression of goodwill and.admiration for the products which the Dominion sends . here. Indeed, in Liverpool, Glasgow, and Cardiff, throe, of the .greatest: industrial and shipping centres of the United Kingdom, I had many deputations urging the desirability of still greater shipments of New Zealand produce, particularly dairy produce and lamb. To-morrow lam oft' to Cardiff at the invitation of the city to inspect their dock accommodation and their facilities for the distribution of imports, dairy produce, meat, and fruit. In the reverse direction, you will find an increasing earnestness on the part of United Kingdom manufacturers to give New Zealand what she wants at prices wli(ieh are attractive and competitive with tiicse from «ny other source. My trip over'l.here this time has... been one of the happiest. experiences in my life, because I have come irom a Dominion which is beloved by all ns coio which in her practical expression of Empire partnership, to my mind, has "■iven a lead to the whole Empire."
