BRITAIN’S RECOVERY
DEFINITE IMPROVEMENT DROUGHT IN COUNTRYSIDE Among the passengers who arrived a- Auckland by the Rotorua from England were Sir Philip Street dud Lady Street. Sir Philip, who is LieutenantGovernor of New South Wales, and until his retirement on January 31 was Chief Justice of the State, spent eight months of his leave preparatory to retirement on holiday in England. “I cannot pose as a financial or business expert, blit I am perfectly certain that the position in England is definitely and very noticeably improving,” he said. “England is showing to-day that she intends to retain her position in the world.”
'Sir Philip spent much of his rime in the country while in England and, commenting on the fact that Auckland was apparently experiencing a dry autumn, he said that it was amazing, cvefi for an Australian, to see the evidence of drought that the past hot summer had caused in England. “The dry spell has exposed the paucity of water facilities which exist in England’s countryside generally,” he said. “ In many districts very real hardship has been caused by lack of water.”
