BRITAIN'S LOST CHANCES.
BEATEN BY COMPETITORS. LONDON. June 20. Messrs. Thomas Cook and Sons gave a luncheon to tho visiting New Zealand farmers at tho Trocadero restaurant preparatory to their tour of Britain and Europe. Tho High Commissioner for New Zealand, Sir Thomas Wilford, who presided,; quoted tho Empiro Marketing Board as his authority for claiming that tho producers of meat, butter, cheese, honey and other products in tho Dominion aro absolutely up to date in comparison to their world competitors. Therefore he said he believed lio was entitled to congratulate not only New Zealand's producers but also its trade representatives. Sir Thomas said ho regretted that British motor manufacturers had allowed American competitors practically to capture Now Zealand. As an instanco of tho backwardness of British manufacturers ho mentioned that Americans were buying Cornish clay of special quality for tho purpose of manufacturing high-
tension insulators, which subsequently they exported to New Zealand.
