“GOOD WILL STEPS”
NEW ZEALAND’S LEGISLATION DISCUSSED United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, June 30. Sir Austin Harris, presiding at a meeting of the National Bank of New Zealand, said while prices were good and trade active the New Zealand Government’s policy may not arouse concern, but a period of reaction would come in due course, when trade would find it difficult, perhaps impossible, to bear the additional costs the legislation imposed. Minimum wages and shorter hours may become an economic impossibility. The policy of guaranteed prices would then be put to the test, and may prove a severe strain. How - ever, all felt sympathetic towards the good will steps the Government was taking to improve the lot of the people.
