MR. WILFORD, M.P.

RETURN TO DOMINION (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON. Nov. 2!'. Mr. Wilford returned to Wellington to-day, after a health tour of Britain and the Continent, accompanied by his wife. He said that he was glad to be back. During the last two months in London, he did his best, to inquire irom those who could apeak witli authority, on the commercial position and outlook of New Zealand in regard to products. The marketing of cheese, meat, butter, and apples interested him; alto beam wireless, naval defence and migration. With Sir l l '. MacKenzie, he represented New Zealand at the International Parliamentary Conference at Westminster. Speaking of the strike, he said the nation was to-day licking the wounds but they would take some time to heal. He thought it was well for the world that the general strike was tried in England, for the world realised through that effort that British stability was the mainstay of European order. The nation as a whole never wavered in the test. He was satisfied that legislation would be brought down at Home to kill minority rule in some trade unions if they did not put their house in order. ( New Zealand’s name stands high at Home. The hospitality they had to refuse in the first live months of the visit and .the hospitality they enjoyed in the later months, both in England and Scotland, would never be.forgotten by them, added Mr. Wilford.
