“WHY WORRY ABOUT THE DOMINIONS?”
The Manchester Daily Dispatch, which is inclined to take up the “Little England” attitude, had in a leading article in February the words: “Why worry about Dominion dairy farmers and leave Lancashire mill operatives to kick their heels in idleness?’’ The same journal has printed a letter in which Mr. H. T. B. Drew, Government, publicity officer, replied to this question. He says: “Are not the two things related? Last year as the result of the fall in her produce prices, New Zealand’s purchases ot British manufactures fell away from her 1929 figures by over £10,000,000. If the people of Lancashire had paid for New Zealand butter the price they pay for Danish butter— to-day the difference is 30s per cwt and it has been considerably higher more money would have been spent by New Zealand in Lancashire mills, because the people of New Zealand would have had more to spend.”
