LOAFERS NOT WANTED.
“We have no room for loafers over there,’’ said a New Zealander on tour in England recently. He was being interviewed by a Sheffield paper, on the conditions obtaining in the Dominion. In amplification of this, he further remarked : “New Zealand is one of the best British colonies for men who are not frightened of work. . . . There is plenty of room for young men in New Zealand. A young fellow with a little capital who would work hard for a few years, could soon make for himself a position and a competency which I am afraid he would find it very difficult to get no matter how hard he worked in England.” The colonial in question, Mr Samuel Shaw Driver, of Auckland, then cited his own case, stating that he had lived a strenuous life, but had reaped a rich reward. Mr Driver is director of the Thames Valley Dairy Company. The interview is published under the heading: “No room for loafers.”
