GOVERNMENT INTENTIONS
AGAINST STATE ENTERPRISE, i’y Telegraph—Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, February 5. A clear indication that the Government intends drastically to check encroachment by the State on the field of legitimate private enterprise, was given by the Prime Minister in the course of a .speech delivered at a reception to the British Trade Commissioner last night. ‘■We are also,” said Sir Joseph Ward, 11 going to stop the importation of goods through the Post Olliee by people who ought not to do it. They send to the Homeland £4 or Co, invest. it there and got goods delivered. These people are stopping the local trader. They arc hurling the worker, they are hurting the public, and they cannot sen how they are doing injury Id the country as a whole. It is a lair tiling that the people who provide the taxes should not he brought into competition with Government or Municipal institutions which do not pay any rates themselves. We are killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
