Trade with Germany "Personally, from my observations on the Continent, I think that the arrangement just made by the New Zealand Government with Germany to take our butter in exchange for certain products is well calculated to be of advantage to the Dominion,” said Mr A. M. Carpenter, a Canterbury farmer, who has just returned from abroad (reports the Press). “I found . the friendship of the people of Germany towards New Zealanders most pronounced. They are not at all hostile. They are friendly and anxious to do business with us on any suitable basis,* and they do need butter and all fats.” In the Mission Field One hundred miles from the nearest post office is the present mission station of the Rev.
