British Preference Urged
TIME NEVER MORE OPPORTUNE. ‘‘Now, as never boi’ore, it is necessary for the producers of the Dominion, to oxercise a definite preference for British goods,” said Mr. T. Curries, chairman of directors at yesterday’s annual meeting of shareholders of the New Zealand Farmers’ Co-op. Distributing Co., Ltd., Fcilding. “Our ambassadors are overseas negotiating trade agreements to ensure safe markets and payable returns for our produce, so surely the time is opportune for us to grant to the Mother Country special preference in regard sro our imports. Great Britain takes approximately £35,000,000 to £40,000,000 of our total exports, and it seems only reasonable that we should reciprocate by specifying ‘British Goods’ when we make our purchases.”
