HEART OF THE EMPIRE.
BRITAIN'S VIGOUR UNIMPAIRED. AUCKLAND. August 4. “We may take it that England is as vigorous and sound at heart to-day as ever she was,’’ said Professor G. W. Daniels, dean of the faculty of commerce and administration and professor of economics at the Manchester University, who arrived in Auckland to-day by the Port Hunter from Liverpool. Profesor Daniels added : “Any of those who are obsessed with the idea that England is finished are on the wrong lines.” Continuing, he said that Manchester was undoubtedly suffering from industrial competition abroad, anxl that the war had given the factories overseas the opportunity to push ahead. They had made full use of that opportunity, and Manchester had suffered a decline in exports from which it had not recovered. It was still, however, the world's cotton manufacturing centre. Regarding the trade with the self-governing dominions, Professor Daniels said that the pre-war demand for cotton had been very well maintained, but the total did not loom very large in the whole of Manchester’s exports.
Professor Daniels added that he was at present on a tour round the word, and he, hoped to spenxl a short time in New Zealand and also in Australia. He hoped to be back in Manchester to resume his work at the beginning of the New Year.
