FUTURE OF DOMINION
“EXPERIMENT WILL FAIL”’ CROP OF DIFFICULTIES ”1 am quite satisfied that a crop of difficulties is being sown to-day which will take a mighty lot of harvesting. It might not be very long before that harvesting is upon us." said ’.ire president of the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce, Mr. P. O. Smellic, at the second annual meetkig of the Dunedin junior chamber. "An experiment is being tried in New Zealand—an experiment which, I think, was inevitable sooner or later,” continued Mr. Smellic. "We whose business memory goes back to depression days, when all sorts of creeds ami ideas were being advocated in currency reform, realised that the time was coming when an endeavour would be made to introduce these ideas into politics. “I think that the experiment will fail, but it is an experiment which is worthy of study, particularly by the younger men. In. it you will find lessons which will toe cl assistance to you in later life,” Mr. Smellic added. “When you come to conduct business affairs and the affairs of the country you will profit by the mistakes of your predecessors.”
