Hawker, who has returned to Christchurch from a visit to Britain, states that the outstanding feature is the boom in building, due partly to the Government’s schemes and to the activities pf speculators. He was also struck by the huge number of new factories that had been,erected, particularly one for making radio sets. There were many other indications that, the country was on the up grade. There was a substantial fall in the unemployment figures, and general* speaking everything was eujA-ing more cheerful prospects.. ■
