NEW ZEALAND IGNORED
EMPIRE SHOPPING WEEK MANUFACTURERS COMPLAIN (Special to THE SUN > CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. Allegations that the Empire Shopping Week League, which is promoting a display of Empir6-mad% goods next month, had ignored the products of New Zealand factories in its scheme, aroused critical comment at a meeting of the executive of the Canterbury Manufacturers’ Association last evening, when it was decided to launch an effective counter-attack.
“We must fight these people and insist that New Zealand goods be displayed during Empire Shopping Week,” said the chairman, Mr. F. L. Hutchinson. “I think that we need to meet the opposition promptly, and to swamp it.” The league met to-day and decided to write to the Manufacturers’ Association pointing out that the aims of the committee were in no way antagonistic to New Zealand goods, but were founded on Mr. L. S. Amery’s address, which advocated buying Empire goods to the exclusion Of those of foreign manufacturers.
