BRITISH MANUFACTURERS.
AND TRADE WITH NEW ZEALAND. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. LONDON, June 2. The Board of Trade Journal, referring to New' Zealand complaints regarding the unsatisfactory nature of British manufacturers’ replies to New Zealand agents’ inquiries after the armistice as to how they intended to prosecute the post-war trade, emphasises tho fact that Britain was turned industrially upside down by the war. The journal asks how British manufacturers could in the circumstances specify the conditions of postwar trade when the supply and prices of materials, amount and cost of labour, shipping accommodation and freights were all unknown and not calculable. The journal adds; “It is unjust to conclude therefrom that British manufacturers are indifferent to the New Zealand market, and not appreciative of New Zealand conditions.”— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
