CORRESPONDENTS' VIEWS LABOUR FROM OVERSEAS
(To the Editor)
Chinese labour brought to New Zealand under temporary permit to meet the labour shortage in the market garden
industry was suggested at the Price Tribunal. Are not the high prices
or shortages mostly caused by the unfavourable climatic conditions? Can
Chinese labour alter the climate? Are there not more Chinese in New
Zealand in 1941 than there were in 1933? Why were vegetables so cheap in
1933? If we have a good season we may have cheap vegetables like 1933.
If we really need more labour, why not bring it from India or Africa, or
exhort the Chinese to be really market garden labourers. W. N. Z. JACKSON. Auckland Star, Volume LXXII, Issue 287, 4 December 1941, Page 6
