TRADE WITH SCOTLAND
THE GLASGOW ATTITUDE
A very hearty reception was accorded to the New Zealand High Commissioner (Sir J. Parr) at tho luncheon held in his honour by the Lord Provost of Glasgow (Mr. Alexander B. Swan) at the Glasgow City Chambers.
"We aro pleased to have so distinguished a guest with us, "'isaid the Lord Provost. Sir James was officially in Glasgow some years ago and he now came among warm friends. New Zealand had increased her sales in Glasgow, but if she wanted to increase them still further there and in the West, of Scotland, the merchants and distributors could not handle~.tho products successfully if they had to receive them through London.- If New Zealand goods were to come to Scotland all waste must be- eliminated, and ho thought they would admit that it was waste when there were charges of £3, £5, or £6 per ton added to the products brought through London. On Clydeside they had a method of putting products into tho hands of consumers without any waste of time or money, and there was no community which was developing tho Empire feeling more than Glasgow and the West of Scotland.
