OVERCOMING DIFFICULTIES

"The British raco, while it grouses at its brother members, is essentially honest by disposition," said Sir Archibald Boyd-Carpentor, in an address last night. "It will get through its troubles. As you will got through yours here, so wo shall got through ours at Home—by assimilation of ideas and by co-opera-tion of judgment and by consolidation of brains." Thero is sound commonsense in tho sentiment which Sir Archibald Boyd-Carpenter so eloquently expresses. In Now Zealand wo havo serious problems to solve. For some of thorn the complete solution does not lie within our reach, for wo cannot control the course of world markets. But overy difficulty that faces us can bo met more effectively by united action than by a divided household. Divisions at home are not only a handicap in overcoming difficulties which come from beyond our borders, but such divisions are often the main cause of other problems. By the "community thinking" of which Sir Archibald spoke, and especially by active co-operation," we can detormine plans and E ut them into operation with success. In industry, in trade, and in politics we cannot hope to pull our weight for tho good of the Dominion if wo first exhaust ourselves by pulling against each other.
