TRADE WITH THE EAST
Hong, Kong,.and, while I saw large quan--41 *?¥' *f, Australian and American tinned gqods, .there .appeared "to be nothing from New-Zealand," said Mr. A. McKirdy, of Mong.Kong, to the Christchurch 'Tress" iie saw no reason why New Zealand should not; be represented. The American and Canadian labels are very attractive, and it only remains for New Zealand, to fall into line in this respect ; Actually New Zealand seems to be wOnng up to the fact that there are great possibdities in China for her tinned goods, Mr. McKirdy added, s "From What I have eeen, the Dominion has an excellent opportunity awaiting it in Hon° Kong and Shanghai." The natives of China were the hardest working natives in-the world, and their word was their bond. For Hong Kong he has the greatest admiration, and the pride in the city of, his-adoption has not diminished since htf.arctired from the sugar refinery trade *>«re. 'Sic question of Hong Kong as a likely market for New Zealand goods was well worthy of investigation, he said. "China will become a great country, given a fair chance," continued Mr. McKirdy. "As she develops, so will foreign "trade develop."
