COMPARED WITH SWITZERLAND. WELLINGTON, August 3. The recent reference to Switzerland and tourist traffic were commented upon by Dr. Leon Bossard, the Swiss geologist, visiting the Dominion.

It was a good example, illustrating that the country could welcome and be courteous to tourists without losing independence or national characteristics. The times were over when nations could shut themselves off and and thrive, and the sooner New Zealand realised that, t.ie sooner it would grow to I>e prosperous, and the generally important country every true New Zealander sincerely wished it to become.
