British Manufacturers STATEMENT CHALLENGED
iBy Telegraph-
WELLINGTON, Last Night. The statement by the Canterbury Manufacturers' Association that British manufacturers were unabl© to fulfil certain orders for the'New Zealand market was challenged at a meeting of the United Kingdom Manufacturers and New Zealand Representative Association to-day, Its secretary was instructed to communicate with the Canterbury Manufacturers' Association asking for details in support of the contention. It was felt that the statement was jmjustified and the position had been unduly magnified. It was pointed out that the Department of Oversoas Trade December bulletin contained a list of some of the orders totalling millions of pounds recently receiyed from almost every country in the world. This was held to alford sufficient indication of the ability of United Kingdom firms not only to quote prices competitive with those of overseas competitors but also their capacity to effect delivery of goods in accordance with the requirements of their overseas purch&ser. It was emphasised that there was no question of neglect of Dominion markets by British manufacturers.
