“BUY BRITISH GOODS”
FARMERS’ UNION VIEWS EXCEPTION TO HOARDINGS Strong exception to the wording of many advertisements appearing, especially on railway hoardings, advising New Zealanders not to buy imported goods, was taken by executive members of the Auckland provincial branch of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union last evening. The question was brought up by Mr. R. H. Feist, who stated that many advertisements were now appearing on railway stations and carriages advising New Zealanders not to buy imported goods. Britain provided the greatest market for the produce of the New Zealand farmer, yet the way many of the hoardings read, the people of this country were advised not to reciprocate by buying overseas manu Pictured goods in return. Mr. A. N. Macky said that he did not want it to be inferred that New Zealanders were disloyal to Britain. If New Zealanders were advised not to buy goods manufactured outside the British Empire, they could not take exception to the advertisements. It was decided to write to the Railway Department asking that restraint be placed on the setting up of advertisements on the stations and trains indiscriminately decrying the buying of imported goods.
