WORKMEN PRAISED.

Sir Cecil Leys and Standards in Dominions. IMPRESSIONS FROM ABROAD. ■' C 4 i SYDNEY, January 23. A tribute to New Zealand and Australian workers was .paid by Sir Cecil Leys, of Auckland, who arrived by the Narkunda to-day from a tour abroad. He said the two Dominions equalled in production and manufacturing methods tho many overseas countries he had visited, and the workmen, when they became used to a job, had no supeiiors in Europe, England or America. Sir Cecil added that Japanese standards of living were improving. Manu 7 facturing was done so cheaply that tariffs could not bridge the difference between Japan and Western countries. Japanese manufacturers were content to turn over their output for the smallest margin; however, as the Japanese became educated to better standards and realised the propriety and necessity of a reasonable profit, and as the general living standard tended more toward Western levels, much of Japan's competitive menace would disappear. Sir Cecil will return to Auckland by the Niagara, sailing on January 30. School savings—Special sale pricings prevail on boys' and girls' school and i gft- apparel at Milne and Choyce's.—
