THE DEVELOPMENT BILL RKi-'ERE.\( V. TO NEW ZEALAND SCHEME. LONDON, .June 16. I Col. J. ('. Wedgwood, Labour member, speaking to the second reading of the Agricultural Development Bill, said that members of the Government had advanced much the same arguments as Mr. Nash. “I hope, when embarking on a similar course Io that followed by the Labour Government in New Zealand they will be equally successful in raising the standard of comfort,” he said. I hope also they will survive the inevitable fate of ail such schemes, namely inflation, losing in the swings what we gain in the roundabouts.” Mr. Tom Williams declared that New Zealand had taken the British lamb market. Unless the farmers could produce something comparable [with Canterbury lamb they would [everlastingly be seeking higher sub- ■ sidies. The Bill pased the second reading I by 229 soles to 119.
