THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
MARKING OF FOODSTUFFS. NEW ZEALAND FAVOURABLE. (Free. A»Boclation—By Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, February 1. At the annual' meeting of the Australian and New Zealand Chamber of Commerce, the President declared that the Empire’s future was dependent on inter-imperial trade and the safeguarding of industries. The chamber elected Sir James Parr as president.
Referring to the Merchandise Marks Act, Sir James Parr said that New Zealand was anxious to have all imported foodstuffs marked with the country of origin. The Board of Trade had decided that honey should be labelled either “ Empire ” or “ foreign,” which was helpful to Australia and New Zealand, but it would be more helpful if the Commonwealth and the Dominion co-operated in a campaign to induce retailers ■ themselves to label goods “ Australia ” and “ New Zealand ” respectively.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
