Imperial Conference, 1932.

Office of the Minister of Customs,
Wellington, 8th March, 1932.

IT is hereby notified for public information that the New Zealand Government proposes shortly to enter upon a full consideration of the policy to be adopted by this Dominion at the Imperial Conference at Ottawa this year.

It will be recognized that the fullest possible information will be required with respect, inter alia, to the primary and secondary industries of New Zealand and to the commercial, economic, and financial conditions in the Dominion.

Various steps have already been taken to obtain information along the above lines, but it is considered necessary that the Government should as early as possible have in its possession the latest available particulars as to the exact nature of the articles which are manufactured in New Zealand and the extent of the production of those articles.

It is regretted that manufacturers should at the present time be asked to supply fuller information respecting their industries, and the Government would have liked to have been in a position to use, for the purposes of the Conference, the information supplied by manufacturers under the Census and Statistics Act, 1926, on Form F.P. 1, re factories, mills, works, &c. This information is, however, supplied on the understanding that it is absolutely confidential and will not be disclosed by the Government Statistician to any other Department or person. Furthermore, the returns for the year ended 31st March, 1932, are not due until the 30th June next—too late for use for the purpose now required. After consultation with the President of the New Zealand Manufacturers’ Federation, it has been decided to ask each manufacturer in New Zealand to send to the Comptroller of Customs at Wellington as soon as possible, but not later than 15th April, 1932, a statement showing the particulars indicated below respecting the industry carried on by him during the latest period of twelve months for which information can be supplied.

1. Full name and address of manufacturer.

2. Nature of manufacturing business.

3. Capital invested in business.

4. Value of (a) buildings, (b) plant, and (c) machinery used in business.

5. The following particulars respecting articles manufactured:—

(a) Name of each class of article manufactured and total production (i.e., factory cost of finished articles) during twelve months of each class of article.

(b) Number of employees wholly engaged in manufacturing each class of article.

(c) Value into factory of each class of raw material (stating class) used in factory during twelve months under the following headings:—

(i) Imported (showing if possible country of origin).

(ii) Made or produced in New Zealand.

6. Total average number of persons employed in the business.

7. Total salaries and wages paid during period of twelve months in respect of the business.

It is not desired that particulars should in the meantime be forwarded respecting any primary products or respecting such articles as butter, cheese, fresh, frozen, or salted meat, scoured wool, or other articles which are not ordinarily regarded as the products of secondary industries.

It is desired that the classes of articles manufactured should be specified in some detail—for example, shirts, suits, corsets, steel window frames, oil engines, electric ranges. It will not be sufficient to show such general headings as apparel, metal manufactures, machinery, electrical supplies, &c.

If a range of articles is made in any particular factory and the number of employees, &c., engaged wholly in manufacturing each specific class of goods cannot be accurately stated, it is desired that an estimate should be given.
