EMPIRE TARIFFS
BUYING BRITISH GOODS. WELLINGTON, Oct. 12. At a luncheon of the British (U.K.) Manufacturers’ Association to-day, Mr. C. W. Salmon, vice-president, in the course of an address on “The world situation and its effects on the United Kingdom and New Zealand,” predicted shortly an increase in the purchase of British goods. Empire tariffs, he said, were coming. He strongly advocated what he termed “practical patriotism.” “Evarybody in the Empire,” said Mr. Salmon, in conclusion, has to individually assist in re-establishing sterling and re-establishing Great Britain in the Supreme place amongst nations. We must help her to trade recovery, and to sterling stabilisation. Sterling has got to be strengthened. New Zealand’s duty is plain. The business man must sell United Kingdom goods, and the people must buy United Kingdom goods. While this present serious crisis is on—a crisis serious both for the United Kingdom and for New Zealand —and comparable only to the Great War—it is just as unpatriotic to buy foreign articles as it was to help the enemy during the war.’>
