MR BALDWIN.

"MOST RESPECTED MAN IN BRITAIN." VISITOR'S OPINION. ' Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Dec. 3. Sir Mark and Lady Sheldon, of Sydney, arrived by the Makura to-day en route to Australia after a trip to Europe and elsewhere, including the East. Sir Mark does not take the same dark view of the international situation and British rearmament as some other have done, and he thinks war with Britain is not likely. If she can get through the next six months she will not be involved in any war, he said. Asked why, Sir Mark said: "Simply because she is determined not to be involved in a war." The visitor could not tell whether there was likely to be any explosion in Europe. . . The prosperity being enjoyed in Britain was notable. There was evidence of it on all hands. This was due to sane government. Mr Baldwin was going to keep Britain out of war. That was Sir Mark's opinion, and he thought it was evident from Mr Baldwin's -speeches. He described Mr Baldwin as the most respected man in Britain.
