DAY BY DAY.

Writing of the Budget, the Southland Times remarks : Of Farmers' especial interest are Co-operative the proposals dealing Banks. with co-operative hanks and family settlements. We are sorry to see that a fanners' representative has sought to cast ridicule on the co-operatdve hank proposal. Tttw experience, of other countries has shown that the scheme is thoroughly sound, and that it is capable of conferring large 'benefits upon the farming community. Not much is known about co-operative banks in New Zealand, but the fact that there are 12,000 banks of the kind in Germany, and that 950 of on e type keep no less a sum than £IOO,000,000 in circulation speaks for (itself. Farmers know that the only security which is of any value under the present 'banking system is the security of broad acres, and when they understand that character, industry, and skill will 'be taken into account by the co-operative banks they will realise the possibilities of these institutions. Cautious management and careful discrimination are necessary, nut given these factors the co-operative banks should lie a success, and should prove an effective aid in land settlement.

They are espionage mad in Germany. It seems that it is unGermany safe to have a postAnd card of a Germain port Espionage, in one's possession. A

tourist, and especially un English tourist can only go about in fear and trembling. If he carries a kodak be stands a good chance of lieing arrested by some German nincompoop in uniform—everybody in Germany wears uniform, by the way—and put on trial a s a spy. Our cables yesterday started that two yachtsmen who had some photographs 0 f a harbor were arrested and discharged. Then tJhey were re-arrested and their fate is not yet learned. Of course it

may be that t'hey were spies, but appearances are rather 'against this surmise. In all probability they were merely on a holiday jaunt and wished to take a few photos of their journeyings away with them. In its present state Germany appears to see a S P V in eveiry shadow ; The strain of the i Moroccan situation has apparently j got on her nerves, and she is suspicious of everyone. Germany should I take a tonic.

1 The question' of the shortage of labor is one that requires Shortage immediate attention both Of by Government and em-

Labor, ployers of labor," states the executive of the New Zealand Employers' Federation, in its annual report. '•' The Chief Inspector of Labor In this year's report deals with the matter, and expresses grave doubts as to the possibility of securing suitable hands for our factories from Great Britain. (Even l though that has to be admitted, your executive is of opinion that one of the Dominion's greatest needs is >a progressive immigration policy, and although it may take the form of inducing and assisting families to come to New Zealand for the purpose of going on the land, the result in a comparatively short time will he that more workers will be available for work in our trades and industries. It is certainly inimical to the best interests of the .Dominion to see some of our products, such as those handled in our jam and preserving factories, going to waste, and to realise that many thousands of pounds' worth of goods have to be imported owing to the fact that workers are not available to enable manufacturers to meet the demand for local productions."
