PUSHING DOMINION TRADE

SIR JAMES PARR IN NOTTINGHAM. FOREIGN BUTTER PREFERRED. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Oet. 14. At tho invitation of tho Majors and Chambers of Commerce, Sir James Parr made a week’s tour of Nottingham, Derby and Leicester in furtherance of reciprocal trade, especially in dairy produce, because the areas are strongholds of Danish butter and bacon. ' Sir James; Parr was greeted as a sori of Nottingham, because his father Was born in the adjoining- village of Binghani.' He visited the University and many factories. In a speech at Derby he emphasised that New- Zealand’s buying power would bo enhanced if housewives bought the Dominion’s dairy produce, honey, meat and fruit in preference to foreign products. He was surprised to find foreign butter and cheese preferred, while New Zealand was stocked in very few shops, especially in the face' of the fact that Australians aiid New Zealanders bought from Britain more than North and ■South America and Western Europe together. Sir James Parr is launching a. publicity campaign to counteract foreign foiuvetitiou.
