"IN looking at the figures submitted and remembering the enormous value of competitive lines coming into this county from abroad," said Mr W. H. P. Barber at the Wellington Woollen Company's meeting, last week, '" one obtains some idea of how the woollen industry here could expand, if the people of the Dominion would give preference to their own pure, honest goods against the products of those who have proved in many instances to be bitter enemies. The chairman of a- contemporary company recently quoted from a before-the-war German publication, and I cannot do better than repeat it, as it is well worth remembering. It is : 'In all expenditure keep in mind the interests of your own compatriots and never forget that when you buy a foreign article your own country is the poorer.' New Zealand is poorer to~day in the loss of the flower of her manhood, caused by the indifference of each and all of us to recognise the truth of this ' German gospel.' "
