SIR JOSEPH WARD.

ENTERTAINED IN SYDNEY. HIS VIEWS ON THE DEPRESSION. (PBB PBESS ASSOCIATION— COPTBIGHI.] SYDNEY, June 22. — Sir Joseph V?ard was to-day entertained at lunch ly the Government of New South Wales- . ... -In an interview later, the visiting Premier said that the position of New Zealand was good. Some reports were ver; much exaggerated. The cause of a great deal of the slump was due to ihe fall in wool values a year ago, and to over speculation in land in some parts of the country making a tight money market. The wool exportg had xiow improved, while the Bank of New Zealand had had a remarkably good year The tightness of money caused 3. few people to employ as little labour as possible. The financial conditions of the country from a Government view were good. The most pessimistic must realise that the resources of New Zealand were so great and so wide spread that the check must be a temporary character only. Sir Joseph Ward and party left Sydney to-night for Melbourne. Don't let lu^dache spoil the day for J,. Take one w^er of Steams' Head2» Cure-it's t3Steless-and very soon the pain is gone.
