"FINANCIAL PINCHES."

PEELING IN THE SOUTH. MATTERS MORE STABILISED. Conversing with a “Post" reporter, the Minister of Internal Affairs (I lie Hull. P. A. do la Perrelle), who has just returned from an extensive visil in the South, said lie laid been delighted to had that in all directions mailers were more stabilised. W'liat had pleased him a great deal was that, for Ibis lime of I lie year, the tillers of the land were working more intensively than ever before, and that the whole province was showing great benefit..

“Like the. North —and, for that mallei-, other countries,” said the Minister, “the South has fell tin - {.timiol pinches, but to-day filings are different. Hard, solid work must produce good results, and wherever I have travelled I have found that spirit well lo the fore. State aid lias been an important iMelor in the continued development- of the Dominion, and the fact that the Government had been able l<. show a surplus of £150,000 has cased conditions very much. Great encouragement is given by Ilie Government to those who work and produce the goods. All minifies are striving to gel back lo their previous prosperity, and I must say that New Zealand is well in the running.”
