OUR FOREIGN TRADE
We are accustomed to wait until trade comes to us, until agents offer us a price. This is not the policy which makes for commercial greatness. Ihe entire coast of South America, from Chili to Mexico, is nearer to New Zealand than to any other country, excepting the United States. It is an invaluable trading ground if we took the trouble to open it up. When the Panama Canal opens New Zealand will be most favorably situated on one of The greatest trading routes in the world, and will be intimately connected with South America by the convergence of oceanic and costal passenger lines nt the canal. But there is no need to -wait for the opening of the canal to commence the commercial exploitation of the South American littoral, which is probably a much more promising coast than that of China. ‘‘Auckland Herald.” - '*
