NELSON’S POSSIBILITIES
MR. NASH’S COMMENT
QUALITY TOBACCO LEAF
(Por Press ARsncintion.) NELSON, this day
The Minister of Finance, the Hon'. W. Nash, was accorded a civic reception this morning by a very large and representative attendance.
The Mayor, Mr. S. Page, thanked the Government for its interest in the development of Nelson's industries and resources.
Mr. Nash expressed a hope that Onekaka .could become one of New Zealand's valuable assets of the future. The tobacco industry was only in its infancy. His knowledge of its quality, based on the opinions of manufacturers in England, showed that Nelson could produce a quality of leaf to compare favourably with that of any other country.
With good prospects for greater development, the Nelson district had a definite productive value for foodstuffs, and it was the desire of the Government to give every encouragement to those who were producing food tor the people of the Dominion and other parts of the British commonwealth.
The Minister later laid the foundation stone, of the new Government Lite Insurance building.
