“NOT DONE YET.”

BRITAIN ’8 INDUSTRIAL PROSPECTS.

Professor Pringle, speaking at a meeting in Wellington, ridiculed the idea of Germany flooding the British markets with imports at the present time. Sinca he had coine out here, he said, he had found only one type of New Zealander for whom he had a certain amount of dislike, and that' Was the New Zealander who went Home on a holiday I rip, interviewed the peelhiil assistant to the third assistant of the High Commissioner in London! spent two or three, evenings in the club, rushed across to Germatiy, talked to some of tin' railway porters and some of the uniters in the hotels, and then came back here and said that t the Old Country was done for and that Germany was the most prosperous country in the world.

“The Old Country,’’ declared Professor Pringle, “is not done for. Once Europe is stabilised. British industry has now' far greater productive power than ever in the past. If we could only get Europe stabilised, the stream of British exports would be far, far greater than in the past; aud we need not worry about German goods flooding the. British market. In 1.013 31 i million pounds worth, of goods were imported from Germany, but in 1921 only ■S : ,' ..millions were imported.
