WELLINGTON, August 10.

Mr. Savage stated to-day that the Mortgage Legislation would probably be introduced this week, but it would not be proceeded with immediately, in order that everybody might become conversant with the provisions. Mr. Savage said the guaranteeing price to dairy farmers was only part of the plan for rehabilitation of the dairy industry. The whole effect would not. be manifest, till the mortgage legislation was brought down. After the primary producers had been restored to a normal basis, the Government would not allow conditions to operate which would bring about, financial embarrassment. Taxation could prevent land speculation. Whatever form of taxation necessary to take for the community what belonged to the community would bo carried into effect. Other forms of primary produce would be brought under the marketing scheme as soon as possible, but not necessarily during this session. There was no need to worry about, wool at this stage, but other primary industries were anxious to be brought in. He said that Mr. Nash might leave for England in October.

Hitler received the German relay team and commiserated with them in their misfortune. He shook hands with the weeping Doerfeldt, saying, “Never mind. You did splendidly.” Goering, Goebbels and Von Schammer (the Nazi sports leader) also received the team. The Official Agency states: “All sympathised with the team,” adding “They should' certainly have won but for the mishap. Thu girls were all in tears throughout the afternoon.” The British girl relay team included Miss Brown, sister of A. G. K. Brown, who ran the last British lap of sixteen hundred metres. International observers consider Rampling ran the finest four hundred metres of the Games. He made up fifteen yards, giving Britain a commanding lead in the relay. Private matches made his time just outside 46 seconds. Zabala fell from exhaustion when he dropped out of the Marathon, and was sent to the hospital, suffering from cramp in the calves.
