AFRICA’S PROSPERITY
RAILWAYS MINIBTER HERE GOVERNMENT POLICY UNCHANGED (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Monday “We are looking forward to a period of exceptional prosperity for the next 25 years,” said Mr L. P. Van Zyl Ham, Minister of Railways in South Africa, who arrived by the Niagara for a month’s holiday in New Zealand, accompanied by his wife. Commenting on the return of the United Government in strength at the recent general election, Mr Ham said there will be very little change In policy. Great prosperity is being enjoyed and a colossal amount of building was going on in the large towns, particularly in the mining areas. The mining industry was the most efficiently organised in the world, and he saw no likelihood of any setbacks. Even if the price of gold dropped It could not drop more than a few shillings, and the probability was that the price would increase. Mr and Mrs Ham have visited Java and Australia.
