GOOD HONEST WEEK.
THE 40-HOUR SCHEME. AMERICAN'S OPINION. DOES NOT FAVOUR LESS. [By Telegrapn.—Press Association] AUCKLAND, Feb. 18. "The 40-hour week is all right. It is a good honest week for anybody," said Mr. A. H. Scudder, head of 3 licorice manufacturing firm at Brooklyn, who arrived by the Mariposa thia morning on four weeks' holiday in New Zealand. "Things in America would be all right if it was not for the Eoosevelt 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," said Mr. Scudder. "There is now talk of a 36-hour week for the same pay, which business just could not stand. The 40hour week is a good honest week for employers ■ and employees, and there is no point in cutting it shorter than that," added the visitor.
