The golfer, Joe Kirkwood, on his arrival from New Zealand, said: “The forty-hour week is killing the tourist business in the Dominion. > ■ “It is impossible to purchase food of any description after 7 p.m. Tourists generally, and Americans in particular, are bitterly complaining about this. , x “Walter Hagen and I have just concluded a ten days’ tour of New Zealand.
