U.S.A. TO CANADA.
WHY TOURIST TRAFFIC TREBLED. "AMERICA IS DRY; CANADA 13 NOT.", "I have heard that the tourist traffic into Canada has trebled during the past three years," stated Mr. John Myers (ex-president) in the course of a deputation from the Wellington Chamber of Commerce to Ministers. The Prime Minister: Do you know the reason? America is dry and Canada is not. (Laughter). I don't want tourists to come to New Zealand f° r that reason. When I was in Vancouver last, I was told that 10,000 people had come over at Christmas from America to spend their holidays there; and it was jocularly suggested that tha reason was what I have stated."
