Mr. Sullivan recently made an announcement regarding the methods the Government intended to adopt for the purpose of assisting New Zealand manufacturers to expand markets and raise the standard of their goods. Three schemes would be put into operation to bring this about—to study the effects of new legislation on industry, and to afford relief where necessary a small committee was to be set up as an investigation medium. The second scheme provided for a greater measure of help from scientific and industrial research, and the third was to procure the co-ordination and standardisation of industry. Some manufacturers were asking questions about increased costs. The Minister of Customs (the Hon. W. Nash) and he had evolved a plan whereby there would be an examination of the various industries on production charges. A small committee would be set up, representative of both departments, and when data was collected their joint finding would go before Parliament for a final decision. Manufacturers must have made available to them all the latest developments of science. The Government was doing something towards the creation of research associations to make available to New Zealand manufacturers the latest and best ideas.
