PROBLEM OF CONSUMPTION Attention to the need of building up a stronger and larger market for the consumption of New Zealand products was drawn by Mr. J. Hogg, retiring president of the New Zealand Manufacturers' Federation, today. "In 1933," said Mr. Hogg, "almost half of the total production of meat and over one-third of the total dairy produce was consumed in New Zealand. With our available resources of coal, electric power, and raw materials the time is ripe for a strong forward policy by the investment of new capital in industry and the increase of our population, even by immigration if necessary, but after the large proportion of our unemployed have first been absorbed back into permanent work. In this way will be built up a stronger and larger market for the consumption of our products. "In stating this I am aware that there is a wide divergence of opinion regarding the policy of immigration. I can, .however, see no other solution to the problem of consumption of our increasing farm and factory products than a larger consuming market in our own country."
