IN AUSTRALIA.
NEW ZEALAND'S NATIONAL CABINET.
A LESSON TO AUSTRALIA
(Received August 12, 9 a.m.)
SYDNEY, August 12
The " Telegraph," commenting on Mr Holman's congratulations to Sir Joseph Ward on the formation of the National Ministry, says: "They carry the irresistible implication, of backhanded censure on Mr Fisher for not taking similar steps. Congratulations that New Zealand's freer political system permits her politicians to rise to heights of/ more genuine and selfsacrificing patriotism, should prove pleasant reading to the Federal Labour Caucus, the inflexible machinery of which renders a National Government impossible."
The paper also favourably comments on the Dominion's promptitude in sending postal officials to Egypt to investigate delays, and adds: '' Now that the more up-to-date New Zealand Government has taken action, the sleepy departments in this continent' may wake up."-
