Argentine Competition.
Mr Smith, Assistant Secretary to the Wellington Harbour Board,, who recently returned from England, came to the conclusion that New Zealanders were just a little too confident as to their position in relation to the Argentine. Tho country was looked upnn by New Zealamders as foreign, and its inhabitants as foreigners, As a matter of fact, in the competition between the two countries our competitors were Englishmen, with English capital, free to invest it as they liked, unhampered by labour problems. With cheap capital, cheap land, cheap labour, and only half the distance from the common market, it wus not difficult to see what the result must be. It might be said that we supply a superior article. Would this always bo so 'J Tile newspapers at Home are already sounding a note of warning 011 account of the immense drain upon pedigree sheep ami cattle for the Argentine, which, if continued, would result in deterioration of the Home flocks and herds. The New Z/ealaiMfer noted that several of the steamship lines trading from England to the Argentine bad all their live stock space boob.d for months in adnance.
