THE OUTLOOK.
If 1 the Prime Minister had said nothing at Ruawai on Friday but that the revenue and expenditure of the country are being more carefully watched than ever before in the Dominion’s history, it would have been worth going to such a remote place to say it. For if the remark is only approximately true it is of profound importance. The Dominion is at that critically dangerous point in its return to prosperity at which its recovery is beginning to be noticed by everybody while nobody is specially concerned with the still existing need for caution. The “ weight of the present development,” which the Prime Minister said "* posterity would “ not feel,” is not so great an anxiety as the manner in which the load is made up, and it is only by watching expenditure, not so much in the light of revenue as in itself, that the Government can check this load, and see that the non-productive portions of it are kept at the lowest possible figure.—Christchurch Press.
