MR. WADE ON NEW ZEALAND.
CAUTIOUS ABOUT POLITICS. ENTHUSIASTIC OVER TROUT. (Received 10.45 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. The Hon. C. G. Wade (Premier of N.S.W.), who has just returned from New Zealand, when interviewed concerning his trip, made guarded references to Dominion affairs. On the no-license question, he said the general opinion of unprejudiced persons seemed to be that in country districts the effect of no-license on the general sobriety was most marked. New Zealand was, he "said, animated by a spirit of confidence in regard to the financial outlook, and the general opinion was that the worst of the financial tightness had passed away. There was strong evidence that the people had been induced to speculate and pay high prices for land both in the cities and in the country, but the corner might be said to be turned, and as long as the prices of produce were reasonably maintained there would be no fear of financial stress. The Premier was not so cautious over his ttrout-fish ing experiences, and came near to being enthusiastic over the blessings New Zealand possesses in her network of streams and her trout.
