IMPERIAL TRADE
SYMPATHY IN ENGLAND.
RELIANCE ON OTTAWA.
“People in England are looking at the Ottawa Conference in much the same fashion that a drowning man would look at a lifebuoy,” said Mr. R. V. Carter, export manager of Du Maurier Cigarettes, Ltd., who arrived at Auckland on Sunday. “The sentiment in favour of Imperial trade is now so strong in England that the conference will not be allowed to fail. Every country in the Empire is bound to experience an improvement in trade and industry within the nex' year or so. The business outlook in England is distinctly bright.” Mr. Carter, instanced the case of a recent. inquiry for New Zealand cigarette tobacco by an English firm as indicative of the strong bias in England in favour of Imperial trade. A large English tobacco firm, he said, had recently placed a cigarette on the market made from Virginian tobacco grown in Canada. Other firms were now keen to secure cigarette tobacco supplies from other Dominions, and there were definite prospects for New Zealand growers in this direction.
Mr. Carter is making his first visit to New Zealand. He will go to Australia and the Far East before his return to England.
