UNDER THE SPELL.
AMERICAN INFLUENCE. New Zealand And Australia Being Won. DRIFT PROM BRITAIN SENSED. (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) (Received 10.30 a.m.) MONTREAL, November 26. The "New York Sun" in a leader commenting on American influence in Australia and New Zealand states: "It is partly a matter of geography, New Zealand and Australia being much nearer America than England. American inventiveness and the practical application of its results are other factors. "The New Zealand or Australian farmer cannot but be aware of America when his American alarm clock awakens him and an American sewing machine sews at his wife's requirement. Mutual interest in Pacific problems and similar democratic ideals further tend to bring New Zealanders, Australians and Americans together. "Britain naturally desires to keep New Zealand and Australia purely British, and intelligently endeavours to accomplish this, but it is a question whether her deliberate policy, no matter how assiduously applied, can do much to offset natural forces."
