"REAL ECONOMY."
DISTRIBUTION OF IMPORTS. [THE PRESS Special Service.] DUNEDIN, November 29. Mr Cyril Lloyd, member of Parliament for Dudley, England, in an interview, was quite emphatic in his opin'ion that the agricultural and pastoral industries were [the backbone and main strength of New Zealand. It was imperative, he considered, not to overburden them with taxation. "I gather you have only a certain amount of capital available' for the development of the Dominion, and that ought to be spent in intensified settlement, and in uplifting the conditions of the people up country by giving them the best service obtainable," said Mr Lloyd. "One thing that has struck me is that while the sales of agricultural products are highly concentrated, the distribution of imports is almost in too many hands with the result that there must be a big amount of waste in an excessive endeavour to sell to farmers. To have orders in the hands of tho big distributors would be real economy."
