NEW ZEALAND
TALK BY MR COATES BUILDING A NATION FUTURE BRITAIN OF THE SOUTH (By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright.) (Rec. 7.5 p.m.) London, October 25. "In our favoured country we are engaged in building up a young and virile nation. It is still in its infancy, but we have hopes that eventually it is destined to become the counterpart under the Southern Cross of your own island group. To all who like to come and settle in or visit New Zealand we extend a warm invitation.” Thus Mr Coates concluded a general talk on New Zealand which was broadcasted by wireless throughout the country to-night. In the course of his talk the Premier gave a general description of the Dominion as a young country enjoying beautiful land and a fine climate. It had a problem entailing the spending of large sums on vast public works incidental to extending settlement. Nevertheless the national debt, including £76,000,000 war debt, was being reduced yearly.—A. & N.Z.
