AMERICAN VISITOR
HIS COUNTRY’S TROUBLES By lelegraph Press Association AUCKLAND, February 18 “The 40-ho’«r week is all right; it is a good honest week for anybody,” said Mr A. H. Seudder, head of a licorice manufacturing firm at Brooklyn, who arrived by the Mariposa this morning on four weeks’ holiday in New Zealand. “Things in America would be all right if it wasn’t for the Roosevelt Policy. If he would come down and be just a little bit reasonable business would be able to get along very well by itself. “On top of taxes, distribution of profits and all the rest there is now talk of a 36-hour week for the same pay, which business just could not stand. A 40-hour v eek is a good honest week for employers and employees alike, and there is no point in cutting it shorter than that,” he said.
