SECONDARY INDUSTRIES
WOULD IT PAY TO SCRAP?
"It would pay New Zealand better to pension all employees in inefficient secondary industries rather than to lose the British market for her primary products," said Mr. W. Goodfellow, at the meeting convened by the New Zealand Farmers' Union in Hamilton on Tuesday, in making an appeal for reduced duties on British goods in order that the Dominion's export trade might not be jeopardised. At Ottawa, New Zealand had agreed to reduce duties on British goods. "The- change in the trade policy of Great Britain spells disaster for our farmers and -the community in general if New Zealand does not get into line and change her policy -as well." Mr. Goodfellow said. "New Zealand'is at the crossroads. The Government is now. called upon to make a decision (and put it into operation' within ,two years), which will either njake or mar this Dominion."
