I may add that on learning that 6uch a message had appeared in the New Zealand • Press, the High Commissioner in Lon- \ Son: made investigations, and was 1 informed by. the War Office that the Im- • penal authorities were continuing to place orders for Army clothing, .and that all the crossbred wool possiblo was desired.: Never has'-tho demand for dear-headed constructive' thinking in . business been /• m urgent as it is right, now. ;> We are flying a progressive age, and must take ■ advantage of, all up-to-date methods.
