TRADE RECIPROCITY

DOMINION AND BRITAIN INDUSTRIAL PLANNING URGED [BY TKI.KGHAPH —OWN correspondent] CHRISTCHURCH, Friday "We should get together and plan what industries you think proper for you to develop here -and then leave a field that is open to manufactured imports from the Old Country, said Captain V. A. Cazalet, British M.P. and a former private secretary to the president of the Board of Trade, in speaking to members of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce. "Otherwise there must come a day when we must say we cannot afford to buy from you unless you buy our manufactured goods. . "1 heard in Australia and in this country a great deal about the necessity for building up a secondary and a tertiary industry, a tertiary industry being something I don't understand. That is all very well, but how far is it to go?'' New Zealand had a complete right to do what it thought best, but it should be remembered that Great Britain had the same right. If it was suggested that there should be a slight curtailment of New Zealand's primary produce, Great Britain "heard all about it." "1 am only suggesting to you that we in England must export or we starve," ho added. "There are many countries that want to take a proportion of our goods."
