SIR THOMAS MACKENZIE AT THE MANSION HOUSE
London, March 23.
[ The High Commissioner for New Zealand (Sir"Thomas Mackenzie), speaking before the Early Closing Association at tho Mansion House, said that the conations in New Zealaaid in 1878 we're better thin those in many parts of London to-day. Unless we won the war all social reforms would be useless. Adequate Imperial defence must be the first consideration. _ Next in importance was the organisation of our national resources. It should not be possible for the products of the Dominions to he lauded cheaper in Germany thau in Great Britain. Exports to Germany had the advantages because of 'the cheap .State-owned railways compared wifcll the high rates in England. Germany also had the advantago of her goods being carried abroad on subsidised steamers. These handicaps to British trade must be counteracted. Sir Thomas Mackenzie is to have the freedom of Bristol conferred upon him.
