Trade Expansion.

_ -* ■ CANADA AND NEW ZEALAND. Mr W. A. Beddoe, the Canadian Commissioner who arrived by the Rakaia last week, will make Auckland his headquarters, and, after he Las completed the necessary office and other arrangements, he will make a tour of the Dominion in pursuance of his mission. In the course of a talk with a Herald reporter, Mr Beddoe stated that he regarded the prospects of trade between Canada and New Zealand as very promising. The fact that there was already reciprocity between the two Dominions in regard to proportional tariffs should do much to foster an increase of trade. "Whilst" he said, " my mission is to promote trade from Canada to New Zealand, and not from New Zealand to Canada, I appreciate that in the bringing about of direct returns, freight each way between the two countries is mutually desirable. Although it is no special duty to find an outlet for New Zealand goods, I shall always he glad to give any information to New Zealand manufacturers and shippers that may assist them in finding a Canadian market for their wares. Incidentally, therefore my mission may he of considerable advantage to New Zealand. Canada, which contains one of the largest leather tanneries in the world, can, for instance, take a great quantity of raw hides, and also a great deal 'of wool, gum, frozen mutton, and other products." In reply to a question concerning the Vancouver service, Mr Beddoe said that, as this matter was at present in a manner sub judice, pending the receipt of the tenders for alternative services, he was not prepared to express any but a general opinion. " The present mail communications between Canada and' New Zealand certainly do not appear to be very satisfactory, and, whilst T do not care to express any opinion regarding the different routes, I believe it would be to the advantage of both Canada and New Zealand if there was a direct mail and other communication to your country from both sides of our Dominion. The policy of the Laurier Government is to promote trade wherever possible within the Empire. Canada is going to be a very great manufacturing country, and her .supplies of rawmaterhl are practically inexhaustible. I look upon the service that is now being inaugurated as a very good example of Canada's policy of Imperial trade expansion." la cases of acute Bronchitis nr Influenza you can safely rely on TUSSICUBA giving immediate relief.
