WORLD'S TROUBLES
VIEWS OF CANADIAN (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. "The trouble all over the world today is the huge amount of money Governments are spending," said Mr. L. C. Webster, a member of the Canadian Senate, who arrived by the Niagara from Sydney. "You cannot give away something unless you made it or earned it," he said. "Various Empire countries have been built up by capitalists, and if you tax them out of existence, what is there to take their place? How will countries carryon? Every big proposition requires capital to make it successful and employ people unless everybody is to become employees of the State." Closely identified with financial, coal, and shipping interests, Mr. Webster has often visited England, and he had heard so much of New Zealand's scenic resorts that he decided to spend a few weeks here before returning to Canada.
