WHY NOT CHOOSE NEW ZEALAND?

TALK ABOUT FOODS. (From Ouk Own Correspondent.) LONDON, January 21. -..A , a meeting of the Accrington and .District Grocers’ Association, Professor Ainsworth Davies (representing the British Empire Marketing Board I gave a lecture on “Food Values and Salesmanship.” Speaking of tinned goods, he contradicted the impression often held that in tinning all the valuable vitamins were destroyed. Experiments made lately showed that the vitamin content of tinned goods was not appreciably diminished.

Asked by Mr J. W. Cooper if this applied to tinned, fish, such as salmon, he replied in the affirmative. As long as the air was excluded in the process of sterilisation the vitamins remain.

He pointed out that at the present moment the Dominions bought , more British manufactured goods in proportion to what the Mother Country , bought of their stuff than did foreign countries, and he advanced a number of reasons for increased trading with the Dominions. Whereas the expenditure per head on our manufactured goods in New Zealand was in the neighbourhood of £ls, the expenditure on our manufactured goods in the United States was only Bs. Therefore, if New Zealand and the United States offered them the same article at the same price, and of approximately the same quality, why not choose New Zealand?
