RAPID DEVELOPMENT'S. 9j Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 15, 8.15 p.m. Capetown, June 14. Speaking at the annual Congress of the Federated Chamber of Industries, the Minister of Mines called attention to a remarkable growth of industries in the last five years. The output of manufactured goods was now valued at £81,000,000, consuming £34,000,000 worth of raw materials, of which fiftythree per cent, was of South Africa!} origin. The key industries were being developed rapidly. On the question of State assistance he did not think the State should undertake to run industries. Assistance should only be given to industries for national purposes; not to those conducted in private interests. He announced the appointment of an industrial adviser to the Government in the person of Dr. Venderberg, a South African with considerable experience in the United Cable Assn.
