A CONFIDENT SPIRIT
MR. SULLIVAN'S PRAISE
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, November 27.
"Manufacturers and their employees can and will produce an increasingly large proportion of the goods required by the Dominion," said the Minister of Industries and Commerce (Mr. Sullivan), when saying farewell at Hanmer this morning to delegates who attended . the conference of the New Zealand ■ Manufacturers' Federation, which concluded today. The conference was the largest and mosi widely representative ever held by the federation.
The Minister expressed his pleasure at the opportunity which the conference had afforded him of discussing v/ith manufacturers, both individually and collectively, their problems. The most pleasing feature to him was the complete absence of anything in the nature of defeatism. Manufacturers in common with the rest of the community, undoubtedly had problems and difficulties arising out of the war situation, but they were tackling their job with determination and a spirit of confidence. At the end of his address Mr. Sullivan was given an ovation.
