BRITISH TRADE IN NEW ZEALAND
“COMMERCIAL MORALITY OF PEOPLE” (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, April 17. Referring to trade between Great Britain and New Zealand at the annual dinner of the Wellington branch of the Royal St. George Society, Mr A. G. C. Deuber, acting British Trade’ Commissioner in New Zealand, said that no other two parts of the Emnire were more closely tied, particularly in trade matters. Manufacturers at Home had definitely come to look on New Zealand as one of their best markets, not necessarily from the point of size, but chiefly because of the high commercial morality of the people of the Dominion. “Believe me,” he added, “it is a very great pleasure for anyone like myself to come here, after spending most of my time dealing with foreign nations, to find there is practically no work at all connected with that horrible job of collecting bad debts. That applies generally, I think, throughout the Empire, but I think it applies still more in the qase of New Zealand.”
