(PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) AUCKLAND, May 21. Speaking at a Rotorua banquet, the Premier stated he had read tbe remarks of Mr Chamberlain, who seemed at the right time and in the right plaoe to point out to his country, and to the statesmen <■! Europe, the lines which the Mother Country could follow with advantage. During the last twenty years, whilst the trade of the Mother Country had increased by 67 millions, the trade of America had increased 600 millions. America was making strides in trade and commerce, so rapid as to be almost startling. In 1895 the imports from America to New Zealand weTe about £200.000, last vena , they were about £1,400,000. Therv was a falling off in their imports relatively from Great Britain. Germany was also increasing her trade, the business methods of the Germans being more up-to-date than those of Great Britain. They manufactured just what the public wanted, whereas the British manufacturer turned out his work according to standards now obsolete. ne was glad to see greater trade with the colonies now advocated, and proud to see Mr Chamberlain sayinz they must go on the lines laid down by New Zealand.
