AN OUTSPOKEN CRITIC
EXPORT OF DOMINION PRODUCE VALUABLE LINES NEGLECTED (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, Sept. 29. “New Zealand has gone mad on wool, butter-fat and mutton. There are many other industries which could be developed. Lord Bledisloe tried to drive into your heads the value of bacon—£2s,ooo,ooo goes to Denmark for bacon every year from England,” said Captain W. Vazie Simons, formerly of the Royal Air Force, who is visiting the Dominion. Captain Simons said that the day of frozen mutton was over. Everyone in England ate bacon for breakfast. He suggested, as other exports, tinned jam, fruit, asparagus, arum lilies, and venison, which, he said, would bring any price out of season in England- “ New Zealand has foolishly sold her stud sheep to Manchukuo,” Captain Simons continued. “In 10 years Japan will be buying no more wool from the Dominion—she will be producing her own.”
