SYNTHETIC NITROGEN. CHEAP SUPPLY OBTAINABLE. WITHIN BRITISH EMPIRE. Received 8.50 a.m. s LONDON, Jan. 15. The final report of tthe Nitrogen Pro--ducts Comnlit'tee’s investigations point to/ the definite conclusion that it would practically make ‘the British Empire independent in regard to oxvternal sup~ plies of nitrogen.[ Canada, with its exceptional water-power and accessibility to the seaboard could produce it much. cheaper than anywhere in the world. New Zealand and Tasmania also offer possibilities for cheap manufacture of synthetic nitrogen; also a. large deposit -of low-grade coal in Australia would furnish ammoniauin sulpliate. The Committee strongly advises in the light of war experiences, the country should not take any risk by depending on Chilipan nitrates, from a military point of view. It would probably be Wise to coneentrarte upon major installations throughout the Empire, and if necessary to create an Imperial authority to carefully study Empire requirements.

THE HAGUE, aJn_ 14-.

' Thy; Government has submitted to jthe bureau of the Second ChamFéi': a Bill reserving to maueen ('3) authority toiadhere to the Le7agu.e of Nations_ In an -explanatory"memorandum the Gov[ernment outlines imperfections in the covs:nant_, as, for instance, the Net;lei--lads on joining the League imustvfi renounce her privileged’ position as a. neutral; it is 3130 pointed out thatvthe proposed pmmanent Court of interna.« tional Justice is very much in air. Small Powecrs. have scarcely any influence in the constitution or work of the Adniinistrative Council of the League. Nevertheless, the Governmegit finds adhesion neces"ary, as the“ Netherlands would otherwise be placed in’ an intolerable international position. De‘-‘ spite drawbacks-, however, the League bears seeds of development W]'liCh\ may be profitable. to humanity.

THE BUTTER SITUATION. GOOD FOR NEW ZEALAND. CONTROLLED OR OPEN MARKET. SIR THOS. MACKENZIE ’S VIEVVS. Received 9..10 aim-. LONDON, Jan. 18. Nothing has been seftled with Food. Controllers regarding‘ future eonh':le.ts for New Zeziland butter. Sir Thos. Mackenzie, in an in‘r,el‘view, stavles fliaf the situation is" exceedingly firm, in View of the fact that the home l_mifermaker. is freed from control, and of controllers having re'u:£'nt'ly expressed the opinion that buVt’:el' should. not exceed 4/6 a pound. Farmers have suggested if. should be six shilliiigs, but the opinion is held that prices are likely to run to anything between 3/6 and 5/. There is great demand For good butxfer, and New Zealzmd, with the reputation of her produce, can command a good price. As there has been a reduction of cattle in European eounfries announting‘ to milli’»on.<. it will take years to restore normal production. Even if the controller does not make :1. reasonable offer for next season’s butter, New Zealand produce. will be on safe ground, because. of the open market. It is expected that the shipping situation will then be easier, and producersmnay expect considei-a'ble increase in price obtained under fhe existing eonvfract. “
