DOMINION INDUSTRY.
EXPANSION ADVOCATED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. At the Industrial Conference, papers dealing with the “forward movement” were read by Mr. C. A. Wilson and Mr. J. Findlay (Auckland). The former advocated a publicity scheme on American lines. Mr. Findlay advocated insurance against unemployment, employers and workers contributing to a fund subsidised by the Government, and also a superannuation fund. “That efforts be made to increase the secondary industries commensurate with the commercial position of the country,” was the text of a paper by Mr. M. White (Canterbury). He pointed out that in 1917 the imports of wearing apparel, boots, iron and steel, leather, hosiery, and other lines, totalled £5,732,596. Thus New Zealand was giving other countries £2,966,298, this being the difference between the manufacturers' price and the imported price. The title of the organisation was altered to the New Zealand Manufacturers’ Association Incorporated.
