EXPANSION DOUBTED
OVERSEAS MARKETS DOMINION AND AUSTRALIA FREMANTLE, Dec. lb. Professor Horace Belslmw, of the. University of New Zealand, who has been studying abroad for nine months, was a passenger to Fremantle by the Narkunda. Interviewed, he said the policies adopted in most European countries for the fostering of agriculture afforded slender hopes for the negotiation of trade agreements for the disposal of the primary products of Australia and New Zealand. There seemed to be a general agreement among economists that the population of western Europe was steadily declining, not because of any paucity of the necessities of life, but because of the changing attitude towards families. The efforts of Germany and Italy to increase their population would, he said, offer only a temporary check to the general tendency. Both Australia and New Zealand had built up their economy on the assumption of an expanding" market, but, this no longer held and it would,'lie claimed, have the ultimate effect of giving New Zealand greater justification for the development of non-primary industries.
