“ We are naturally loyal to our own products, and in many primary and secondary industries can boast of a superiority which cannot be surpassed,'’ Mr E H. Wvles said last night. “ but wo are a limited population in New Zealand, and we have not the power to develop our resources that older lands with a larger population hare. My view is that a properly devised sys tern of immigration, bringing to New Zealand those who are williug, by energy and ability, to assist in further developing the resources of this land and adding to the nower of its present industries, both nrimarv and secondary, and the investment in the Dominion of British capital, would bring to a realisation the present possibilities of the undeveloped resources of this country, and assist in securing that unity ; n trade and sentiment which should be to the advantage of every part of the British Empire.”
