TYRE MANUFACTURE
Doubtful Proposition — By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, May 13. The possibility of the erection in New Zealand of a factory for the manufacture of tyres was mentioned by Mr P. W. Litchfield, president of the Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Company and leading American industrialist, who is passing through Auckland by the Aorangi on his way to Australia and the East. Mr Litchfield said that the proposal for a tyre factory in the Dominion was already under consideration, but it appeared that tyres could be imported cheaper than they could be manufactured. It was doubtful, too, whether economic conditions would justify the establishment of special plant.
