AMERICAN INDUSTRIES.
Professor W. T. Mills, M.A., who will lecture in Masterton this evening on the State ownership of monopolised industries, .should at least be interesting. Possibly he will be able to explain how it is that the United States, wMch claims to pay higher wages to its workmen than are paid in other countries, can iproduoe its machinery and other merchandise at a very much cheaper cost than we in New Zealand. Do ithe workers of the United States work longer hours' than ore worked in New Zealand? Or, do they employ more scientific method's ? Are the adoption of scientific methods "consistent with, the tenets of modern Socialism, which does not recognise efficiency, and which discourages individuality ? Can he explain vrhy the ironmasters of New Zealand ishould seek further protection against the ironmasters of the United States?
