"Generally speaking. New Zealand has. never teen s(7 prosperous," deelar,ed the Minister of Agriculture, when questioned on Friday at Gieborne (says the "Poverty Bay Herald"). To-day, he went ,on to remark, record prices were being obtained for all our exportable products. The Imperial authorities have purchased and paid to the New Zealand Government during the past nine months no less than £6,120,000 for beef, mutton, and lamb, and arrangements have now been- made to take one-third of the output of cheese , from all the factories of the Dominion, equal to about'ls,ooo tons. The Minister said he would like to emphasise the fact that the total exports' from New Zealand for nine months ending September 30 amounted to £24,214,000, against £20,505,000 for the corresponding\period of 1914,. while at the same time the imports decreased from £17,-' 176,310 for the nine months' of 1914 to £16,140,206 for the same period of 1915. Prices now being obtained by sheepfarmers for their wool clips were the highest ill the history of the Dominion. From a statement made by the Minister of Finance, it was blear that the position of the Dominion on November 30 last was l satisfactory... hut, at the same time, to, maintain' a sound financial position,it was essential that_ a policy of rigid economy-'would require to be faced.' Keeping this in mind, the commercial outlook jvas good. Unhappily, the. cruel', war.,still .continued, and was costing the- country and the Empire a heavy -price in its best and. most promising manhood.. The time,had arrived when they- must look the position fairly"in the face,--<tnd to ensure' success t-o tile Allies' great cause, place all their possessions, in the one crucible.
