MR RAMSAY MACDONALD.
By Telegraph—Press Association. INVERCARGILL, Nov. 12. Mr Ramsay Mac Donald, M.P., passed through here to-day, on his way to Australia. Interviewed, he said that Britain could not copy New Zealand labour conditions to any extent. The Home industries were too big to enforce New Zealand legislation. He was not sure that the New Zealand Arbitration law was as great a success as one could wish. He thought the New Zealand workers should consider the purchasing power of money, not merely the wages received. When they did that a new field ot legislation would be open to them. Trades Unionism at Home was totally different to chat in New Zealand. He denied that British commerce was declining. Mr J. Chamberlain's figures were wrong. German competition was growing, but that could not be prevented. The best thing that Britain could do was to maintain free trade, and fight strenuously tor a share of the world's trade.
