The following athletes arrived today from Australia: —Dr Peltzer (Germany), Lermond (America), Golding (N.S.W.), Emton (Germany). D?Peltzer will probably go on to ,'Rotoruu to-night and be back in Wellington for Saturday’s meeting, after which he .and Emton return to Germany, via Australia, Java and India. Lermond and Golding will tour the Dominion, competing at meetings in various parts. With Dr Peltzer, athletics are only a recreation. In Germany he is a lecturer on economics, he said, an 1 when not on the running track in the countries he is visiting, be is engaged in analysing the social conditions. He does not see much hope in Australia’s high tariff policy. They would, he said, have to learn that they were- not a world in themselves. There should be a periodical survey of protected industries. The progress of industry and the general air of prosperity in Japan surprised him. Its future seemed very bright. He considers* free trade the only way the world can be made happy all round. His own country was labouring under extremely heavy taxation, in which all had to share. LONDON, February 4. A strong committee has been formed to ensure adequate British representation at the Empire Games, Canada, in August.
