MR WADE ON NEW ZEALAND.
EFFECT ON NO-LICENSE. ? NO FEAR OF FINANCIAL . STRESS. SYDNEI, February 5. The State Premier, lion. C. G. Wade, interviewed here on his return from New Zealand, made guarded reference to Dominion affairs. On the no-liccnse question, the Premier said the general opinion of unprejudiced persons seemed to be that in the country districts the effect of no-license on general sobriety had been most marked. New Zealand, continued the Premier, was animated by a spirit of confidence in regard to the financial outlook, and the general opinion was ! that the worst of the financial tight-, ness had passed away. There was strong evidence that people had been induced to speculate and pay high prices for land, both in the cities and in the country, bat the corner might be said to be turned, and as long as prices of produce were reasonably maintained there need be no fear of financial stress.
