SECONDARY INDUSTRIES
New Zealand's Hope LABOUR PARTY VIEWS Telesrravh-Presß Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, April 6. Members of the Parliamentary Labour Party who have been attending the annual conference to-day visited the Wool: ton Tanneries and after an inspection of the works addressed the employees. Mr. M. J. Savage said that nowadays most countries produced nearly al! their requirements and the Labour Party held that if New Zealand could not sell her goods overseas she must sell them within the Dominion. The Labour Party intended to find out what was made and what could be made in New Zealand. The time was opportune for the development of the home market. At the first opportunity the Labour Party would see that there was further development of secondary industries.
Mr. F. Langstone said that the standard of living in New Zealand could no longer be linked with that of any other countries. In the development of secondary industries lay the greatest chance of solving the unemployment problem. Mr. K. Semple said they must make the Dominion their workshop. He hoped that before the year was out the people, woul,d have a chance of expressing their opinions through the ballot box on the present Government’s policy of commercial suicide. Mr. B. McKeen dealt chiefly with the proble raof finding employment for young people, and he said the only opportunity for the young was in secondary industries.
