I personally have been engaged in the food business in this Colony for many years" and have had to compete against large quantities of food stuffs brought here from sour ces outside the Colony and the Bri- tigh Empire.
It is suggested that our Govern ment should make Contractors use a portion of the Green Island Cement in their work. I personal ly would be very grateful to our Government if they would make people eat a certain portion of locally produced or Empire pro- duele daily.
