TRAINING OF STUDENTS DOMINIONS ASKED TO ASSIST. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Received November 13. 5.5 p.m.'i LONDON, November 12. Hon. J. G. Coates and Hon. Stanley Bruce were among the Dominion guests at a luncheon given in honour of the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture at Trinidad, which, according to the chairman. Sir Arthur Shipley, dispatches showed trained students from all over the Empire. Despite the large proportion of the Empire which is in the tropics, tropically trained agriculturists. entomologists and mycologists are scarce. The tropics had a limitless supply of vegetable alcohol which might be the cheapest source of energy in the future. He did not hesitate to ask the Dominions fer assistance because the wheel that does the squeaking is the wheel that gets the grease. Mr Coates promised that New Zealand would consider the question of rendering assistance. The Dominion representatives inspected models and photogmnhs of the college, also the stores in Haymarket. whore they saw an admirable exhibit of Empire products.
