SCENIC ATTRACTIONS
EXPLOITATION URGED. AMERICAN’S ADVICE. Per Press Association. INVERCARGILL, Feb. 21. “Soli America your ' scenery,” was the advice given by Mr Theo L. Hall, vice-president and assistant general manager of the Philippines Long-Dis-tance Telephone Company, Manila, who arrived at Bluff to-day by the Marama. He has come to New Zealand for the Rotary Conference to be held in Wellington next month. “You want America to buy from you,” lie said. “Very well, then sell her your scenery. She has her own wool' and dairy industries, but her people are only too willing to travel to see good scenery. Japan has been ‘sold’ to America, and by high-pressure salesmanship films should bo made to show off the Dominion’s beauty spots. They could entertain as well as educate people overseas in the natural beauties of the country. If a film exploiting Japan was shown in America an American announcer was engaged to supply the commentary. If it was to bo shown in Australia, an Australian was engaged, and so on with other countries.” NT There was a possible-market for i\ew Zealand’s condensed milk on the lhd’ppine Islands, said Mr Hall. the people there had to use tinned evaporated milk.
