SAVIOUR OF NATIONS
Importance Of Coal To The World. BASIS OF INDUSTRY. (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) (Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, September 24. The Marquess of Reading presided at the third World Power Conference on fuel, which was opened at the Imperial Institute. There are delegates present representing 48 countries. Mr. R. J. Harvey, Government engineer, represented New Zealand. Sir Robert Home, M.P., in the presidential address said coal was the potential saviour of every country whether it be bituminous, anthracite or lignite which involved electricity, gas or chemicals. It also constituted a basis of industry whether in Britain or in the Dominions. With the exception of Canada, which had vast water power, the other Dominions, like Britain, were dependent on coal. He denied the possibility of oil superseding coal, and said that most important developments were proceeding in low temperature carbonisation, hydrogenation and pulverisation, which separately or together were destined to revolutionise coal. Germany was leading the world in the utilisation of brown coal.
