Prices For Our Products
Sir,—Mr. Nicolaus refers to my proposals for the economic regeneration of tliis country as "Alice-iu-Wonderland” economics. Mr. Nicolaus is still in the Santa Claus period of political thought, and accepts with obvious complacency the inferiority complex ideas about the inhabitants of this country. . New Zealand should be able to manufacture anything that an American or a Jap. can make, and thereby raise tlie standard of living in this country. Mr. Nicolaus does not realise that if we double our production and increase the quality of our products by 50 per cent., and continue the present stupid marketing system, which allows overseas buyers tri fix our selling prices, we will be a bankrupt nation for the next fifty years. I trust Mr. Nicolaus will discard his theoretical economic obsession and assist in educating tlie public of New Zealand that this is an almost self-contained country, and is therefore in a position to fix its own prices for its products which it desires to exchange for the goods of other countries. —I am. etc., W. STUART WILSON. Wellington, January 30.
