AMERICA’S ENTERPRISE.

PENETRATING WORLD’S MARKETS EDUCATIONALIST’S 'CONCLUSIONS. CAREFULLY PLANNED OFFENSIVE. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel,—Copyright, (Received January 8, 12.30 p.m.) PERTH, January 8. Mr F. Milner, headmaster -of the Waitaki Boys’ High School (New Zealand), and vice-president of the League of Nations Union, who represented the Dominion at the Educ-aion Conference at Vancouver, and toured the North American continent and England, said on his arrival at Fremantle by the Orsova that the outstanding Impression of his travels was the 'commercial penetration of the world by the United States. Her!' mass production had saturated her home market, especially in motor cars* and a carel’ully-planned offensive was now -being made by - the manufacturers on South America, India, and Russia, especially In the Ukraine. Here America was represented by a group -of professors and economists, who practically had sole control, and large quantities of American machinery had been introduced. One order alone amounted to £6,000,000 worth of farm implements. This, Mr Milner -considered, might effect Australia and New Zealand considerably, as under such direction Russia would quickly become a strong factor in the world’s wheat markets. Mr Milner suggested that Australia and New Zealand agriculturists should become associated with the -Cambridge School -of Research, whose work in improving grasslands, poultry raising, 1 wheat crops, and in other '-directions, already had had a great influence in English agricultural practice.
