POSITION IN NEW ZEALAND STATEMENT AT GENEVA GENEVA, June 16. A lively exchange occurred at a meeting of the Textile Committee between Mr H. T. Armstrong (chairman) and Mr Scholes, representing British employers, the latter saying that New Zealand's textile industry was so small that the lessons in application of the 40-hour week were useless. Mr Armstrong replied that New Zealand was a small country and had lots to learn, but not from British textile manufacturers. "Our textile employers are more prosperous than ever.
