BUY BRITISH GOODS
ADVICE TO DOMINION “RUDE AWAKENING” (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Unless, NeAV Zealand purchases a greater share of her requirements from Britain, instead of other countries which do not buy our produce, the country, is likely to have a rude .awakening, in the opinion of Mr. O. T. Evans, of Wellington, who has returned from a tom* of Great Britain. He said there was a feeling at Home that New Zealand trade Avas slipping away owing to the exchange problem. If the high.,exchange lasted another two or three years our imports would drop to half, and Australia. Avould become the manufacturing centre for New Zealand, partly because-of exchange, but also because of cheaper freights and quicker delivery. Manufacturers in all countries were bringing pressure to bear on the Government in regard to- the export trade to the colonies, Avhich avus so rapidly declining, especially in the case of .New Zealand.
Regarding .butter, lie said he was positive that England was eating more ol our product than ever before, and the present low prioes was due to over-pro-duction. New Zealand was a long way behind in her,marketing organisation.
