The improvoment in industrial conditions and the increased national income were a direct result of planned development of the State.

Queensland was watching the New Zealand developments with considerable interest. “I have noticed a big improvement in the general outlook and conditions of the people of this country since T was here twelve years ago,” said Mr Smith.
