We are very tolerant in America.”

The opinion that although its prosperity was not threatened, American industrial life was on the brink of a disaster, was expressed by Hon. C. P. Gartside, a member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly, who arrived at Auckland yesterday from Los Angeles. After travelling through California, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, and other States, Mr Gartside said: “I could not help coming to the conclusion that America industrially is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Manufacturers are in for a fair amount of trouble. The reason I think is that the. United States have lagged behind such countries as New Zealand and Australia in industrial legislation. Now they are attempting to achieve by industrial revolution what should be gained by evolution.”

There has been a good deal of speculation in Christchurch as to possible appointments to tho Legislative Council, but it is generally believed in Labour circles there that the certain appointments include Mr J. K. Archer and Mr John Rigg (says the Press). Other prominent workers and supporters for the party, including Mr W. J. Green and Mr J. S. Barnett, have been mentioned. It is generally believed that the Government has no intention of extending the terms of four of the live legislative Councillors who vacated their offices in June, through the effluxion of time. These are lion. D. Buddo, Hon. J. Trevetliick, Hon. R. McCallum and Hon. R. Masters. The term of Hon. M. Fagan also expired at the same date, but his term was renewed by the Government almost immediately.
