FOREIGN COMPETITION

DAIRY PRODUCE IN BRITAIN.

.CAMPAIGN TO COUNTERACT IT.

SIR JAMES PARR’S TOUR. BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 11.45 a.m. to-day. LONDON, Oct. 14. At the invitation of the mayors and chambers of commerce, Sir James Paribas completed a week’s tour of Nottingham, Derby and Leicester in furtherance of reciprocal trade, especially in dairy produce, because the areas are strongholds of Danish butter and bacon. Sir James Parr was greeted as a son of Nottingham, because his father was born in the adjoining village of Bingham. He visited the university and many factories. In a speech at Derby he emphasised that New Zealand’s buying power would he enhanced if the housewives bought the Dominion’s dairy produce-, honey, meat, and fruit in preference to foreign products. He was surprised to find foreign butter and cheese preferred, while that of New Zealand was stocked in very few shops, especially in face of the fact that Australia and New Zealand bought from Britain more than North and South America and Western Europe together. _ Sir James Parr is launching a. publicity campaign to counteract foreign competition.—A.P.A. and “Sun.”
