GERMANY WITHIN.

"BUZZING LIKE A. BEE HIVE, , ' SCORING ALL THE TIME. WELLINGTON, Monday. The Prime Minister has received a letter, from a source which he regards as unimpeachable, making some surprising revelations in regard to the internal conditions obtaining in Germany. "I have been spending some months in Germany, and I can truthfully say the country is buzzing like a bee-hive," states Mr Massey's correspondent, who adds: "There is ho poverty here—not the slightest trace of it.

In my opinion when Germany's debts and obligations are whittled down as they are being very surely whittled down by heJj ceaselessenormously powerful propaganda working as an everlasting universal printing press, then she will be enormously wealthy, because, she is doing an enormous trade, and there is absolutely no reason why the mark should not go back to its pre-war value, in which case the savings of the German people will represent a truly fabulous sum. Whether our financiers: have really got a right grip of the exchange problem as it exists in these days I cannot say, but certainly Germany seems to be scoring by her manipula-,, tion of it all along the line."
