MARKETING SCHEMES.

NEW ZEALAND METHODS. Tasmanian Visitor’s Criticism ~ Christchurch, April 6. ‘•New Zealand has a venturesome Government,’’ said Captain F. Marriott, a member of the Tasmanian Parliament, in an interview in Christ church. Captain Marriott, who arrived last v ek on a holiday visit to the Porninion tends to make a study of New Zealand's legislation and condition> generally. As a farmer. he is keenly interested In the Government’s marketing schemes, and as a member of the Tasmanian Parliament he Is particularly , inter sted in the solution of problems I of unemployment. He is also keen ■ to sec and learn what he can of the work of the L.botir Gov nie’ here. : in view of the election of a Labour, i Government to power fo. a five-year period in Tasmania. “The N' s " Zealand Government is certainly hot letting things stand I still,” sard Captaii Marr: r., “but ‘ though I do ’ t want to he unduly ‘ critical until I know zuore abu t its work, I think it must v. etch its step . carefully. In its c:< keting schemes,) which especially interest me, I think I that th. New Zealand Governm nt is on very angemus ground. I do not i say that it v R fc;:. hut ■ is certainly ! a most venturesome thing to do. and' ft is hard to see how the Government ?an satisfy the farming immunity. Tn I this inatter and in the licensing of Industry, I think the Government must watch its step carefully. I firmly believe in the fundamental ’aw of supply* and demand without getting into trouble. These things wnr' themselves out a id are always their own salvation. There are definite limits to which the State can go.”
