FIFTY YEARS AGO
NEW ZEALAND'S FINANCES The saner financial, policy introduced by Sir Harry Atkinson -after, the Julius Vogel Ministry was favourably commented, on in Australian papers 50 years ago. The following is an extract from the New Zealand Herald of October 7, ISS9: "A Cable from Melbourne states that the ■ Argus this morning publishes a leading article reviewing the lasfc session of the New Zealand Parliament, in which it states that Sir Harry Atkinson, the Premier, deserves the most credit for his retrenchment schemes and for his determination to dispense with borrowing as far as possible. Referring to Sir Harry's ideas, the Argus says that! stringent though they may be, they will probably mark the end of a ruinous system of finance and the banning of a natural development of the country's resources."
