SCARCITY OF EXPERTS. DOMINION ASSISTANCE SOUGHT. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. London, Nov. 12. Messrs. Coates and Bruce were among (lie Dominion guests at a luncheon given in honour of the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture at Trinidad, which, according to the chairman, Sir Arthur Shipley, dispatches trained students all over the Empire. Despite the large proportion of the Empire which was in the tropics, tropically trained agriculturalists, entomologists and mycologists were scarce. The tropics had a limitless supply of vegetable alcohol which might be the cheapest source of energy in the future. He did not hesitate to ask the Dominions for assistance, because the wheel that does the squeaking is the wheel that gets the grease. Mr. Coates promised that New Zealand would consider the question of rendering assistance. The Dominion representatives inspected models and photographs of the college, also the stores in the Haymarket, where they saw an admirable exhibit of Empire produets.
