BE OPTIMISTIC!
ESPECIALLY IN BAD TIMES MR COATES’S ADVICE. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association LONDON, December 3 "It seems almost to have become a habit in Britain to look upon the gloomy side of everything. I cannot understand that view at all. The worse things are, the greater optimism ought to be,” declared Mr Coates, in responding to the toast of his health at a commercial men’s luncheon at the Guildhall, Worcester. Speaking of the Imperial Conference, Mr Coates said that after listening to all the speeches, ho thought that Britain ought to feel very pleased that she had been admitted into the Empire. (Laughter.) ‘‘New Zealanders,” he added, “are far more British than the people here, where I have seen ‘God Save the King’ sung with three people sitting. They would not tolerate that in New Zealand, for very good and sufficient reasons.” PRIME MINISTER INDISPOSED Australian and N.Z. Cable Association* (Received December o, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, December 4. Mr Coates is temporarily indisposed with a severe cold. He is spending the week-end at Leominster with a cousin, Colonel Coates, who was onco in the Indian railway service.
