INTER-EMPIRE TRADE

iADDRESS BY MR. DARROCH

A. visit to the Khandallah School was }>aid yesterday morning by Mrs. A. E. Brown and Mr. R. Darroch, of the Wellington Navy League. Mr. Darroch, by r.ourtesy; of the headmaster, Mr. J. .BrinBans, addressed the senior pupils on "InterJtmpire Trade." . , ~ Mr. Darroch emphasised the great importance and necessity for the people in the first place to buy New Zealand manufactured goods, because Empire buying, lie eaid, begins at home, and everyone wanted to get all the people back into employment with as little delay as possible. In this connection he exhibited jerseys made in New Zealand and a jersey of foreign manufacture. The New Zealand jersey was a fine example of inter-Empire trade, because the raw cotton was grown in a British-protectorate, sent to England to be made into the two-ply yarn, which tame out to New Zealand free of duty and ■was made into jerseys the like of which the All Blacks said could not be bettered in any part of the world.

Mr. Darroch proceeded to encourage after New Zealand goods the buying of Koods from the Mother Country, because ?>y so doing the purchaser was helping to )»ut more people back to work in England, and they then would be in a better position to buy New Zealand butter, cheese, frozen meat, etc. Mr. Darroch concluded his address with an exhibition of posters issued by the Empire Marketing Board which has spent, during- the last seven years, millions of pounds of the British taxpayers' money in order to put goods i'rom the Empire overseas on. to the British markets.

The visit concluded with the prospect of quite a number of the scholars enroll--sng in the school membership of the league
