The Government's Policy and Aims.

In a special New Zealand supplement issued recently by the London “Daily Telegraph,” the Hon. W. Nash gave an illuminating survey of the industrial, commercial and financial position and the general objectives of the new Government of the Dominion. He began by explaining the programme on which the Labour Party, which is now the Government, went to the country last year. The election policy affirmed that New Zealand's trade and marketing policies would best serve the people of the Dominion and the other countries of the British Commonwealth if New Zealand's own production and marketing system were first put in order. To give the best results to exporters and importers, producers and consumers it would be necessary to allow production to expand so long as any important human wants remained unsatisfied, and to ensure that expansion of production did not ruin the producer by catastrophic price falls.

This implied a relation between increased production and sound marketing machinery, together with the establishment of the means to ensure the simultaneous expansion of demand, and the exploration of new markets for the Dominion's products.
