MR. SEDDON'S VIEWS.
THE FIJI QUESTION
THE PREFERENTIAL TARIFF:
(Received 9.35 a.m.)
■SYDNEY, this day.
Mr. Seddon, in the course of an interview, implied that he could not reconcile Australia's position in regard to Fiji with the settled policy of white Australians. New Zealand, having Maoris to deal with, had no need to talk of a white New Zealand.
Mr. Barton, replying through the press, said he did not think Mr. Seddon's contention affected the marrow of the question. New Zealand has Maoris, as Australia has aboriginals.
The "Herald," commenting on Mr. Seddon's preferential tariff scheme, says: "T.wo main reasons against any general adhesion, to the movement suggest themselves. The first is that it has been opposed to the Imperial policy throughout to grant such concessions, and the second is that the fiscal policy of the Commonwealth and New Zealand is antagonistic to that of the Mother Country. Neither has any claim to concessions."
