Says Sir George Elliot In his address at the annual meeting of the Bank of New Zealand the other day Sir George Elliot made a strong plea for the fostering of trade within the Empire. "Unless British industry is fostered," he said, "Great Britain cannot continue indefinitely to bo the .plendid market that she has been for colonial produce. Reviewing the trade returns for the year ended March 31, he pointed out that exports to the United Kingdom were £43,681,219, or 79.8 per cent, of the total; while imports were £23,522,840, or 47.2 per cent. "New Zealand sells the bulk of her products to the United Kingdom, and anything that affect-, the trade of the United Kingdom affects New Zealand, Sir George Elliot continued. "New Zealanders, therefore, arc almost as seriously concerned in the condi: ions existing in Great Britain as the people themselves who are living there! .... It must never be forgotten that if we are to hold and increase our exports to Britain, we must on our part take British goods in exchange. New Zealand has been called 'the dairy farm of the Empire,' just'as ihe Uriited 1 Kingdom has been tailed 'the workshop of the Empire.' If the.'dairy farm' is to flourish, it is essential that the 'workshop' be kept busy.'' Tins injunction to New Zealanders to support Home industries applies with special force to the buying of motor vehicles, of which an altogether undue proportion of those imports d into the Dominion are of foreign make. 1 K I f t Every part of these cars—and trucks as well—is of genuine British manufacture, and the best quality at that. Furthermore, in Morris Cars you get greater horse-power for the money than you can obtain in any other car on the market. Morns Cars are quite suited to New Zealand conditions, they are sturdily built, and we undertake to say that they will stand infinitely more rough usage than cars of other than British origin. For absolute comfort, econoqiy, and reliability buy a Morris—Cowley or Oxford. Buy a British Motor. No thinking man who wishes his country well would aggravate the unemployment problem which has placed over a million Britons on the dole. Yet, when he buys a motor —car or lorry—that is not British, that is exact.'y what he is doing. Conscience says:."Buy British." Self-interest aays so too; for there is not a motor vehicle in the world that for economical running and reliability can be held equal to a British car oi' a British lorry. A British Motor is a car or 1 irry made solely in the British Isles, of British-made parts and British-made accessories. Newmarket (Foot of Khy Auckland Most Fine Cars F. 0.8., AUCKLAND.
