Description: "I believe I may say that the chances many of you have long imagined for yourselves are to be found in this attractive country," says the Rt. Hon. S. G. Holland, C.H., Prime Minister of New Zealand, in his foreword to "Opportunity in New Zealand". This view is shared by its author ... who spent seven years there recently and was able to examine at first hand the conditions of living and working in the richly endowed Dominion whose living standards are among the world's highest and where unemployment is virtually unknown, yet whose population shortage means a continuing need for new settlers to share in its prosperity. The book is concerned with facts, not opinions, though the author has not hesitated to where necessary to criticise aspects of New Zealand life from a Briton's point of view. Appendices include details of wage rates, social security benefits, taxation, average retail prices, etc." -- Inside front cover.
