THE NEW ZEALAND DELEGATION.
Owing to personal difficulties, delegations from any country to a gathering suca as that promoted regularly by the Empire Parliamentary Association are never fully representative of Parliament. This vpar there is for New Zealand the special difficulty of an approaching election. It is a pity, for these gatherings of members of Parliament from all over the Empire should be productive of much good in br dening of views and exchange of ideas, but apparently it cannot be helped. To obtain the full benefit from such meetings, a delegation should be composed of men at the beginning rather than the end of their careers. Tfye leader of our delegation is finishing with politics. Fortunately there is one member who, so far as can be predicted in politics, has a future, and that is the member for Manukau. His constituents are recognising his ability and his energy on behalf of local interests by giving him a cordial leave to go. Mr. Jordan, we are sure, will represent the New Zealand Parliament worthily in Canada, and we do not think he need feel much anxiety about his seat.
