NEW MARKETS
Sir, —There seems to be an extraordinary "kink" in the minds of New Zealanders, whereby tl vv can think of j only two markets, England and A us- j tralia. Why not find for ourselves a 1 share in the vast Eastern markets, which are practically next door, instead of trying to force our trade 011 to overstocked markets. Australia has had the common sense to realise this and in consequence is doing a remarkably large trade to the East, which she has been doubling up for the past five or six years. Why does not the Government allot say £IO,OOO for the purpose of sending a number of scouts j throughout the East. Each scout could be provided with samples of our various manufactured lines including pre- i served fruits, jams, wines, cider, etc. j He would submit these to the various I leading trading houses and thus be | able to gather -first-hand information, which should be of invaluable assist- j ance to the Government in formulating plans for opening up trade with the East. This £IO,OOO would be well invested and would be the opening of several doors for the disposal of New Zealand produce in the New Year.
Scornful
