BUTTER AND LAMB

Well Advertised in Great Britain "Our butter and lamb are well adverl i.-ied and v.eil-known wherever one travels," said Air K. McLeay to the annual meeting of the Napier Chaniber of Commerce during an addrcss to members u])ou lii.s observatioiKs of Briliah business gleancd on Jiis recent trip to Kngland. Hc added that the future oi New Zealand's experts to Great Britam could be viewe'l most optimistieally. The speaker stated that New Zealand butter and lainb, in particular, have a reputation built entirely upon their standrd and quality, which it was to be hoped would always- be maiutained. There was also a good future for whatever fruit could be exported. "When one consider-s the distance we are from Britain> it is notliing sliort of wonderful to thinlc that we are able to j-laee the produets witli such a high standar-d of quality compared with uther countries whic-h are muc-h closer to her niarkcts,'' he' stated. "In my opinion, if the present unsatisfactorv statc of international affairs do not cventuate in a further war, the future of our produets, following the reduction 03? unemployment in Britain, can be viewed most optimistieally. "The New Zealand producer eertainly benefits from the present Tate of excliangc, but this exchange is a very severo hurdle whenevcr money has to be forwarded to Britain for ihe pvi rjjhase of commodiliei." •
