TRADE RELATIONS
GROWING RECIPROCITY. DOMINION AND ENGLAND. MR JORDAN’S REMARKS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received December 15, 9.40 a.m. LONDON, Dec. 14. Pressing a button at a special ceremony at the works of the English Electric Company at Preston, Mr W. J. Jordan (New Zealand High Commissioner) to-day set in motion the first engine for the Weilington-Pae-kakariki railway electrification scheme. Replying to a toast at the cfficitil luncheon, Mr Jordan recalled that Rt. Hon: R. J. Seddon (former Prime Minister of New Zealand) was born in Lancashire. He made reference to the growing reciprocity of Anglo-New Zealand trade and hoped ways could he found for its extension. British manufacturers were benefiting from the New Zealand Government’s housing policy and the increases in wages which were resulting in a movement from the city residential areas to the outer suburbs, this meaning an expansion of the transport industry.
