THIRD NOW.
BRITAIN AS EXPORTER. TERRIFIC DEBT BURDEN. HON. W. M. TRIGGS IMPRESSED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Mr. W. M. Triggs, M.L.C., on returning from England, emphasised the tremendous handicap Britain is struggling with, in the load of debt she faces as the result of the war and debt settlements. Instead of being first as an exporter she is now third, America and Germany being ahead of her. He said he was impressed by the advantages enjoyed by France and Germany in regard to loans through the depreciation of the franc and the mark. He said his desire was not to disparage these countries, nor criticise the Mac Donald Government, but to impress on New Zealanders with all the earnestness in his power that the Mother Country was labouring under great burdens and that to meet the terrific competition with which she was faced she needed more than ever the sympathy and active support of every loyal member of the Empire.
