OPTIMISTIC NOTE
APPEAL BY PRIME MINISTER
DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP,
Per Press .Association
CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 16. An optimistic note for the future was sounded by the Prime Almister, Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes, at the annual meeting of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce.
After referring to the difficulties that have been faced in tho past year, he said he thought thero was an improvement to be noted in the regaining of confidence in business circles.
After declaring that the depression had been accentuated by people withholding expenditure within their means, he appealed to citizens as a duty to spend whenever their means permitted. Air Forbes said: “There is nothing like times such as these to bring home the duties of citizenship, and anyono in a position to be able to make expenditure has a duty to do it at the present time. If that is carried out right throughout tho country, then it will bring about a revival that will help to relieve the burden in regard to unemployment. I think that is well within our means, and I do believe that at the present time it is in operation.”
