Government Interference. Included in the chairman's address at the annual meeting of the Drapery and General Importing Company, at Dunedin, was criticism of what' was termed “continuous interference” In business by the Government. Speaking of trading conditions during the past year the chairman said:—“in the face of the benevolent intentions of the Government the reports of Ihe National Expenditure Commission divulge how successive Governments for twenty years or more have sot a glaring example of disregard of economic principles in Hie administration of our country. The Associated Chambers of Commerce have taken up those matters vigorously and I think I express your feelings in wishing liiein success in thair endeavour lo curb the Government’s expenditure and its present probably well-meant attitude of helping trade with unnecessary and hanhful regulations."
