EMPIRE TRADING.
(To the Editor.) Sir,—Mr Paish, British Trade Commissioner in New Zealand, during his recent visit to Palmerston North, is reported in your issue of the 20th instant to have been disappointed to see that most of the machinery in use in local dairy factories was of foreign manufacture. He further is reported to have stated that shopkeepers at Home are making larger displays of Empire products. It would possibly assist, sir, in the campaign of fostering Empire trading, if, whilst he was here, the British Trade Commissioner compiled statistics showing the percentage of foreign machinery and lorries used by dairy companies as against British, so that these statistics could be supplied to the shopkeepers at Home. It would no doubt assist butter users to arrive at a choice' of brands, if they knew that with a particular brand the cream was collected per medium of. American lorries, run on American tyres over American bitumen roads, and that when the cream got to the factory it was turned into butter to be consumed by the British workman (if he has work enabling him to purchase it) per medium of Danish machinery.—l am. etc., QUID PRO QUO.
