SPECIFIC DETAILS ASKED BY MANUFACTURERS
(P.A.) WELLINGTON. Feb. 11. “If Sir George is correctly reported we would ask him to be more specific and name the industries to which he refers,” said Mr. S. Howard Hunter, president of the New Zealand Manufacturers’ Federation, referring to Sir George Aylwen’s comment on New Zealand secondary industries.
"We would ask him,” added Mr. Hunter, “to state quite frankly on what information he bases his opinions. “Not only manufacturers, but many New Zealanders will be surprised and not a little disappointed at the Lord Mayor's remarks. Our manufacturers have no desire to deal in what Sir George calle pure sentiment. “They realise they will never hold their place in the consumer market unless they produce quality goods at prices which reflect value, but to have our industries described as third and fourth rate will create wide resentment.”
