HOPES FOR SUCCESS

ECONOMIC CONFERENCE

LORD BLEDISLOE'S VIEWS

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) ( . AUCKLAND, May 10. Tho importance of New Zealand's representation at the World Economic Conference* was emphasised by the Governor-General (Lord Bledisloo), speaking at tho teachers' refresher course, at Auckland Training College. "The announcement of the New Zea-. land delegation to the Conference is a landmark in the history of the Dominion," said his Excellency. "We all, I am sure, wish every success to the mission of the Prime Minister and the Minister (Of Industries and Commerce. There is.no country in the Empire so dependent for its economic existence upon external trade, and none therefore more concerned to see a sound and permanent solution of the problem of international commodity distribution, and a reliable system of world currency which may set the wheels of industry once more in motion. "Our statesmen delegates, whatever be their political convictions, be trusted to remember that New Zealand's trade interests are inseparably bound up with those of the Mothqr Land. No scheme which is inimical to her manufacturers, farmers, or shipping is .calculated, in tho long run, to benefit any class in this Dominion. The hopes arid prayers of every section of the community for the successful outcome of their labours will go with them." ■ ' ■
