MEED OF THE PERIOD. LORD' BLEDISLOE'S SPEECH : ..'■'■ ' ' ■-. ''- ' .'..'■' (Per Press Association) WELLINGTON, April 9. Confidence that the deliberations now pending between the statesmen of the two great English-speaking nations would eventuate during the next few months in a definite lifting of the cloud of industrial depression was expressed by -the Governor-General (Baron Bledisloe) when officially opening the Easter Show. "In the meantime," said his Excellency, "it it our duty, and to the ultimate advantage of each in his separate sphere of vocational activity, to stick to the last and go on quietly, steadily and hopefully with his task, unperturbed by the economic blizzard, and ready to grasp such opportunities as at no distant date will present themselves to those who combine capacity and enterprise. But we must steadily move with the times, or we shall run tho risk of being left behind in the race." The chairman of one of the leading British banks recently wisely and significantly indicated that no business could afford to disregard the teachings of scientific research, continued Lord Bledisloe.. None could prudently diverce business from ethics or the principles deemed to flow from religious conviction. To these conditions of success he would- add meticulous study of the exact requirements of customers. This led him to suggest that stockowners would be well advised to take time by the forelock in improving the type, not only of sheep and dairy dlittle, the .standard of which was already exceptionally high, but also pigs .and beef cattle, in order to meet the requirements of British markets.
