HAS TREMENDOUS BURDENS. AFTERMATH OF THE WAR. fRv Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Dec. 5. Interviewed, the Hon. W- F. Triggs emphasised the tremendous handicap Britain is struggling with in the load of debt she faces as the result of the war and debt settlements. Instead of being first as exporter, she is now third, America and Germany , being ahead of her. He was .impressed at the advantages enjoyed by France and Germany in regard to loans through the depreciation/ of the franc and the mark, but in the conclusion of the Interview he said his desire was not to disparage the countries nor criticise the MacDonald Government, but to impress New Zealanders with all earnestness in the fact that the Mother Country was labouring under great burdens and that to meet the terrific competition with which she is faced she needs more than ever th® sympathy and active support of every loyal member of the Empire.
