PEACEFUL OFFENSIVE

STATES’ WORLD TRADE BID

NEW ZEALANDER SUGGESTS ACTION.

(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) PERTH, .Jan. 8. Mr. I<\ Milner, headmaster of the Waitaki Hoys’ Higli School, Now Zealand, and vice-president of the League of Nations Union, who represented the Dominion at the education conference at Vancouver and toured the North American continent and -England, said on arrival at .Fremantle by the Ursova that the outstanding impression of his travels was the commercial penetration of the world by the United States. Her mass production had saturated

her home market, especially in motor cars, and a carefully planned offensive was now being made by the manufacturers on South America India, and Russia, especially in tlie Ukraine. There America was represented by a group of professors and economists, who practically had sole control, and large quantities of American machinery had been introduced. One order alone amounted to 30,000,000 dollars worth

of farm implements. This, Mr, Milner considered, might affect Australia and New Zealand considerably, as, under such direction, Russia would quickly become a strong factor in the wheat markets. Mr. Milner suggested that Australian and New Zealand agriculturists should become associated with the Cambridge School of Research, whose work of improving grasslands, poultry raising, wheat growing, and efforts in other directions already had had a great influence on English agricultural practise.
