AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRY
MR. D. A. EWEN’S IMPRESSIONS.
TOO MUCH PROTECTION.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, April 17.
The rapid development of secondary industries, both in Sydney and Melbourne, but especially in Melbourne, much impressed Mr. D. A. Ewen, Wellington, who returned by the Monowai after spending three weeks in Australia. Mr. Ewen is managing-director of Sargood, Son, and Ewen. “In my opinion these industries have gone ahead far too fast for the country,” said Mr. Ewen, who was visiting Australia after 12 years’ absence. He said the teeming population of the cities seemed to be far too great a burden for the country areas to carry. There were too many industrial plants and many manufacturers admitted that there was too much protection even for the good of the industries themselves. Superficially, at any rate, there was some general improvement in conditions. The streets were full of people and the cheaper classes of trade were having a busy time.
