COLONIAL AFFAIRS.
LORD BURNHAM IN FIJI. (BY CABLE—PEEBS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received August 14th, 5.5 p.m.) iSTJVA, August 14. The Government, Chamber of Commerce, and Press of Fiji entertained the Empire Press Union delegates yesterday with a 25-mile circular drive during which they witnessed native ceremonies at the Methodist mission station. At an informal gathering, Lord Burnhatn said that the Crown Colonies often suffered too much from meekness. A greater spirit of co-operation between the Crown Colonies was needed. "They want to assert themselves a little more. at the general headquarters of the Empire and never be satisfied until they secure what they want. These colonial affairs should: not be relegated to a small room in one of the back passages of the Colonial Office."
