"NEW ZEALAND INDUSTRIES WEEK."
For a week from to-morrow shopkeepers and manufacturers in various parts of New Zealand are to make special displays of goods made in the Dominion. This "New Zealand Industries Week," as it is called, has given rise to the suggestion of the formation cf a league, the members of which will pledge themselves to the most rigid loyalty to goods labelled "Made in New Zealand." Of course, if such an institution were formed, members would be expected to sleep in New Zealand-made beds, wi>th New Zea-and-mau'e blankets; their furniture must be made of New Zealand woods; their clothes mad;} of New Zealand tweeds, and their foodstuffs manufactured in New Zealand. "New Ztaland for New Zealanders" would be something more than a sto:k saying if such a thing could be brought about. There is no .reason why it should not be —at least to the extent that no English or foreign-made article should bo used if a similar article is manufactured in t v ie Dominion.
