Hastings, Oct. 22,
“To-day we are passing through ,-t period of temporary depression,” .-.aid Lord Bledisloe in the course of a, speech lie delivered at the civic welcome yesterday, “-bid don’t let any pessimist tell you that tliP depression is going to be permanent. Be optimistic above all tilings. Your pioneers did not depend on Governments. Tliev trusted in God as their guide. Let us irust in the same sources of strength, and i|>.\' those means we shall
recover the prosperity we had in ihe days gone by. “If we want to recover the prosperity of this country wo must use every means in our power. 'We are hound to have an adverse trade balance unless wo deal with the country that deals with you. If you cannot get what you want in your own country, look across to your Motherland —the country that buys your wool, your butter, your meat, yon'r cheese, and most of \vhat you produce. “If you cannot get what you 'want from either source, look to your sister Dominions. That is the only way you can recover prosperity, and in that way you can do more for yourselves than Governments can do for you.”
