Dr. -I- A. Gilruth, who ha* spent j half hw life ta New Zealand and the j other half in Australia—part of the ' . tune ai A(imini.«trator of the Northern , Territory—proposed the toaat of '"The ■ Conmnnwrarth and the State." Incidentally he said that communication f»tw«n Australia and New Zealand »m not as goud now a« it iu thirtyfive v«»ax« a(to. That »« rarely a matter whirh *a< h ihould rectify.

Responding on "t*ehali of (onv mociwealtb. .Senator Guthrie »aid that the two Dominion* were hound by Mood and effort* in pioneering, white the beroum of th« Anaaos had formed a still «trong*r link between them. It *« worthy «i note that New Zealand last sear exported dairy produce to the seltae of jL2D.OnD.IViO and tf.sno.ono rarcasee of lamb*. as against Australia's export of only 1..j00.ti00 lambs. TW Minister for Railways in Victoria ("Mr Grove*'), speaking on behalf of the St*t» Government, emphasised the necessity lor consumption hi New Zealand of more Australian dried and canned Inula. There ai»t inentably he developed store market* for Imperial prodtiet* in ths> Ilomuiom. Mr W. A. Watt, who propped the toe** of "The Dominion of Sew Zealand." said that except tor one or two drinks and the olives, the meat and drtnk set before them were the product of" what be considered the moat fruitful I Dominion of the Bnush Kmoire. H* paid, a tribute to the kJiwMie** and I common itnw of the peopte of New ■ Zealand, and he said that it was an . araaair.g thing that although Australia and New Zealand were the mutj n origin and inevitably tiie same m destiny, they did not %*em_ to rvalue or understand it at alt. Neither Mr Manure nor Mr Coates had visited Australia, bat be hoped Sir Joseph Ward would make an official visit. When he bad pointed out to a New Zealander that no potnt in the two inlands was more distant than 70 mile* from the sea, the latter had said- "And what do you dednee from that?" Mr Watt had replied that Australia and New Zealand should hare a common nary and a common defenrv instinct. Cfeeers i Thoae who were one with Australians racially should be »>ound by a common understanding. Let Australia start with New Zealand. (Load applaas*- ) Mr Slanson. responding, after emphasising New Zealand's progrev. and the charm and variety of it* srrnic and snorting attractions, said ***** Nelson enjoyed 3010 boon of snnshine in a Tear', while Melbourne con Id only claim 1360A voice: But what about earthqnakes? Mr Manson ■»« wise enouah to overlook the interjection, and said that the export* from New Zealand exceed*** thiimportt be over £11.000.000, which was a remarkable performance tor a Dominion with only a quarter nt the population of Victoria.
