ENGLAND TRIES TO PLEASE

ATTITUDE H) DOMINION FAULTS ARE TOO APPARENT “New Zealand and the Old Country would pull together much better if they forgot each other's faults and tried more to understand each other’s efforts for unity.” This assertion is made by • Mr. J. H. Beale, an Auckland business man, who has just returned fr i a year abroad, and who b. * as a lack of understanding for the reciprocal difficulties which we experience with England. 51r. Beale mentioned yesterday that people in England hear too little about what is going on in the Colonies, and are not given an opportunity to understand that New Zealanders are trying to establish the best ol Empire relations. Conversely, we in New Zealand failed, through lack of information, to appreciate the good feeling which really existed in the heart of England for this Dominion. “When Tunney got married.” Mr. Beale said, “we heard a great deal about it, and read a long account of what the bride wore. But when the New Zealand Government introduced an act of such Empire importance as the Film Quota Bill, we did not hear a word about it.” Mr. Beale praised the efforts of the Empire Marketing Board, and said if the people in this Dominion realised the amount of work the board had accomplished to secure a market for our primary produce, they would be everlastingly grateful. “The British motor-car manufacturer has his coat off,” Mr. Beale went on, “and he is going to give the Colonies what they want.”
