Mr. WADE'S IMPRESSIONS
NO-EICENSE AND FINANCE?
Sydney, February 3. The State Premier (the Hon. C. G. Wade), interviewed here on his return from New Zealand, made guarded references to Dominion affairs.
On the No-Eicense question, the * Premier said the general opinion of unprejudiced persons seemed to be that in the country districts the effect of No-Eicense on general sobriety had been most marked. New Zealand, continued the Premier, was animated by a spirit of confidence in regard to the financial outlook, and the general opinion was that the worst of the financial tightness had passed away. There was strong evidence that people had been induced to speculate and pay high prices for land, both in the cities' and in’ the country, but the corner might be said to be turned, and as long as the prices of produce were reasonably maintained there need be no fear of financial stress. Mr Wade was not so cautious over his trout fishing He came near being enthusiastic, over the blessings New Zealand possessed in her network of streams, and her trout.
