LOOKING OVER BRITAIN
NEW ZEALAND FARMERS AT LUNCH IN LONDON HIGH COMMISSIONER’S HINT Reed. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Friday. Messrs. Thomas Cook and Sons gave a luncheon to New Zealand farmers at the Trocadero preparatory to their tour of Britain and Europe. Sir Thomas Wilford, who presided, quoted the Empire Marketing Board as an authority, claiming that New Zealand producers of meat, butter, cheese, lioney and other products were absolutely up-to-date in comparison to their world competitors. Therefore he believed he was entitled to congratulate not only New Zealand’s producers, but also its trade representatives. He regretted that Britain had allowed the American motor manufacturers practically to capture New Zealand. As an instance of British backwardness, he mentioned the Americans’ buying of Cornish clay of a special quality for the purpose of manufacturing high tension insulators, which were subsequently exported to New Zealand.
