DOMINION’S FUTURE

Necessities For Progress LORD BLEDISLOE’S VIEW (Received Jlarch 19. 7.25 p.m.) London, March 19. Lord Bledisloe, in a letter to “The Times,” regrets that, owing to insularity, a large proportion of New Zealand’s loyal and lovable population deprecates the admission of either human migrants o r pedigree live stock from Britain. lie adds that he sees no economic future for the Dominion unless she discriminatingly opens her arras to both without delay. MILK CONSUMPTION Low Level in Britain and New Zealand London. Jlarch 18. •Great Britain and New Zealand have the unfortunate distinction of consuming the smallest quantity of milk per capita of population,” said Lord Bledisloe, former Governor-Gen-eral of New Zealand, in tlie House of Lords during a debate on the more extensive provision of iniik for schoolchild ren.

He added Unit as the result of personal inquiry of the medical staffs of New Zealand hospitals he came to the conclusion that about 35 per cent, of tlie inmates were there owing to nial nutrition in their childhood. There were undoubtedly more milk producers in Britain than there were three or four years ago. The Dominions. especially New Zealand, were ba Ing blamed for the glut, but the Dominions must live, lie said, and dill' enlties would inevitably arise, unless it was made economically possible for New Zealand to meet her service loans.
