Ltd., who returned from a business and pleasure tour of the United King--, dom and America by the Monterey, was emphatio when interviewed ,in Auckland that prosperity is return-) ing on both;'sides' of the Atlantio.

Luxurious aotor-buses were increasing in! number. Every effort was being made -to keeD the' increasing traffic under control and to minimise accidents. Pedestrians gathered at the Hore- <6 Belisha beacons to make the crossings of the^traf* fic-crowded streets.

State*, and thia is being watched with delight by industrialist* on both sides of the Atlantic. More people are aov ing and spending money, which is a good sign. Interchanges of ideas and habits all help to est-, ablish a greater bond of friendahip_and,bueineßß| between^these two great.nations."
