WARNING ISSUED BY N Z. EDUCATIONALIST UNION’S VAST INFLUENCE United 2\ .4. —By Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 1.30 p.m. PERTH, Tuesday. Mr. F. Milner, headmaster of the WaV laki Boys’ High School and vice-presi-dent of the League of Nations Union, who represented the Dominion at the education conference in Vancouver and toured the North American Continent and England, said, on his arrival at Fremantle by the Or soy a, that the outstanding impression of his travels was the commercial penetration of the world by the United States. Her mass production, he said, had saturated her home market, especially in motor-cars, and a carefullyplanned offensive was now being made by her manufacturers on South America, India and Russia, especially in the Ukraine. There, America was represented by a group of professors and economists who practically had sole control and large quantities of American machinery had been introduced. One order alone amounted to 30,000,000 dollars worth of farm implements. This. Mr. Milner considered, might affect Australia and New Zealand considerably, as under such direction Russia would quickly become a strong factor in the wheat markets. He suggested Australian and New Zealand agriculturists should become associated with the Cambridge School of Research, whose work was the improving of grasslands, poultry raising, wheat-growing and In other directions, and already had had a great influence in English agricultural practice.
