FOREIGN IMPORTS
Sir, —The article in Monday's Herald on the good source of revenno to be obtained by New Zealand from importations from foreign countries calls for reply. Mr. A. W. Boucher, in his communication tc the Herald on the matter, certainly draws attention lo the fact that a substantial amount would be contributed tc cur revenue if wo imported, say, from Fiance, an articlo carrying 25 per cent duty, against the samo article on the free list from Great Britain. Surely it is obvious that that position could not continue for long, as we should very soon deplete our resources by paying out to a country that buys nothing from us in return. It is timo that individuals in New Zealand realised that it is to the better ! interests of the country as a whole as well i as to themselves that each and every- ! one should make it his business to buy wholely and solely from the country that buys our products. It is also the duty of our Government to put sufficient duty on foreign imports to keep (hem out. Kngland ;by purchasing our products enables us j to carry on and we should purchase from ' Iter all we possibly can. F. James.
