Mr. Churchill, Minister

Sir Auck-
land
Ceddes
regrets
that the
eoal
pro-
duction
is
out
of
gear
because
some
miner:
are
hunting
for
‘‘Fairy
cold
something
for
nothing’’.
The
result.
Sir
Auectland
asserts,
is
the
possibility
of emplovment
iu all trades
being
reduc-
ed and the price of food raised.
He adds
tha.
many
other
trades
are
acting in
a
manner
similar
to the
miners.
Dr.

crowding.

Mr. George
Barnes
de-
clares
that
the
great
mass

opinion

ardently
favours
a
League
of N@tions.
The
present
form
of the League,
Mwever,
does not satisfy
everybody,
he
says,
‘‘butil is a
measure
of
possibly
common
agreement
at
the
moment,
it can improve
as time
goes
on
and
meantime
it
is
the
hope
of
the
world”’.
