"BUY WITHIN THE EMPIRE"
Commenting to-day upon a: question raised at tho meeting of the Wellington Cliamber of Commerce regarding conversion rates and the exchange, problem goncraUy, Mr. J; Myers said that the point as to conversion rates should not, in his opinion, hare been brought before the chamber, but was1 a matter between, the banks and .the. merchants themselves. . It was just a. question of the gold standard, being suspended in Great Britain, and the depreciated currency in foreign countries. ' • ' "In the. report of; the meeting yestordtty," .added Mr. Myers, "I was made ! to say. that 'it was up to New Zealand business men to buy thoir'goods from those parts of the Empire,, which liad not suspended the gold standard. jtt was unfortunate that-the word 'not' was inadvertently put in, as what I advised was that merchants should do their business within, the Empire."
