PRODUCTIVE VALUE
NELSON DISTRICT
THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) NELSON, This Day. The Minister of Finance (the Hon. W. Nash) was accorded a civic reception this morning. There was a very large and representative attendance. The Mayor, Mr. Page, thanked the Government for its interest in the development of Nelson's industries and resources. Mr. Nash expressed the hope that Onekaka would become one of New Zealand's valuable assets of the future. The tobacco industry, he said was only in its infancy. His knowledge of quality, based on the opinions of manufacturers in England, showed that Nelson could produce a "quality of leaf which compared favourably with that of any other country, and there were good prospects for greater development. The Nelson district had definite productive value for foodstuffs, and it was the desire of the Government to give every encouragement to those who were producing food for the people of the Dominion and other parts of the British Commonwealth. The Minister later laid the founda-tion-stone of the new Government Life building.
