NEW YEAR MESSAGE
MR COATES'S WISH. CONTINUED PROSPERITY. NEW ZEALAND AND THE EMPIRE (Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m.) LON\DON, December 30. Mr J. G. Coates, in a New Year message, said: At the dawning of another year 1 express to my fellow-citizens warmest wishes for the continued progress and prosperity of New Zealand. In the past year economic disturbances in the United Kingdom have somewhat depreciated the returns which might otherwise have reasonably been expected from export trade. I am glad to say there is reason for believing that better times are ahead. The clouds of industrial degression which have long hung over ritain are diminishing, and an era of prosperity is dawning in which, I hope, New Zealand will correspondingly benefit, because her material well-being is inseparably linked with that of the United Kingdom.
The Imperial Conference was an important epoch in the Empire's history, and the results will tend to strengthen the ties of unity, which can be helped by the whole-hearted fostering of intra-Empire "trade. It behoves British citizens to make this their every-day thought and action. Their New Year's slogan should be: "Sink differences, and unite all efforts in a spirit of hearty goodwill."
