BUREAUCRATIC.

INDUSTRIAL BILL.

FLIGHT OF CAPITAL.

IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION. (By Telegraph.— Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. Speaking in the second . reading debate on the Industrial Efficiency Bill in the House of Representatives to-day, MiW. Bi (National, Parnell), said the British Empire was huilt' rip by private enterprise and he predicted that before many years were over New Zealand wouUTreturn to private enterprise. Bureaueratic control had a. strangle hold on Russia and under the bill something similar would be brought about in the Dominion. The bill set out to produce industrial efficiency; that was a high ideal. It had to be remembered, however, that human nature had to be taken into account and that different people had a different mental outlook. He contended that the bill if passed into law would -restrict immigration fnd prevent the flow of capital into New Zealand from overseas. A considerable sum of money had been driven out of New Zealand owing | to the advent of the Labour Govern- ! ment. People would not wish to come .to New Zealand when they learned that they would not be permitted to commence business' until tliey obtained a Government license. Much of the country's development was due to capital coming in from England. A principle of British justice was that if rights were taken away compensation should be paid. ' i The Minister of Industries and Com-' mcrce,. Mr. Sullivan: I have already stated that if a person is put out of! business the people who benefit should compensate him. That is a part of the plan.
