There is an old saving to tho effect that "it is tetter to pay in kind than in cash," and in an interview with un Auckland "tiorald" representative, Mr. \\\ A. Bcddoe, Canadian Trade sioner in New Zeavand, toc'k this as his theme when discussing the possibilities of reciprocal trade between New Zealand and Canada. "My object in New Zealand," Mr. Beddoe explained, is to encourage tho fanner, from whom orders originate, to realise that, inasmuch as Canada becomes a inoro valuable customer each year for farm produce, when lie requires goods that Canada can produce ho ,should' designate Canadian goods, other things betpg equal. It is only fair that when the farmer sells his products to Canada in increasing ounntitiw he should purchase from Canadian manufacturers those things that may bo readilv supplied. By doing this, on* country cannot become the overburdened creditor to the other, because it would nut into .operation the woll-rooogmse<! principle of political economy that it is better to pay in kind than in cash. I have consistently contended since 1 have been in New Zealand that, commerce between countries, to be enduring, must bo reciprocal. Therefore, it is only ronronable to assume that the more the New Zealand 1 merchant and farmer buys from Canada tho greater will be the demand for New Zealand produce in that Dominion."
