DEFINITELY BETTER
ENGLAND’S ECONOMIC CONDITION.
AUCKLAND, April 5. Among the passengers who arrived at Auckland by the Rotorua from England were Sir Philip Street and Lady Street. Sir Philip, who is LieutenantGovernor of New South Wales, and until his retirement on January 31 was Chief Justice of the Sta.te, spent eight months of his leave preparatory to his retirement on holiday in England. “I cannot pose as a financial or business expert, but I am perfectly certain that the position in England is definitely and very noticeably improving,” lie said. “England is showing today that she intends to retain her position in the world.” Sir Philip spent much of his time in the country while in England, and, commenting on the fact that Auckland was apparently experiencing a dry autumn, he said that it was amazing even for an Australian to see the evidence of drought tha.t the past hot summer had caused in England. “The dry spell has exposed the paucity of the water facilities which exist in England’s countryside generally,” he said. “In many districts very real hardship has been caused by lack of water.”
