SIR JOSEPH WARD COMBATED.
IMPERIAL CONFERENCE RE- : PORTS. (By Telegraph—Special Correspondent.) Christchurch, January .2. The Government organ at Christchurch throws cold water on Sir Joseph Ward's, suggestion that the newspaper press of Nov/ Zealand should send two representatives to report the proceedings at the Imperial Conference and the Coronation. It says: "The Prime Minister can hardly expect the newspapers to send representatives on the chance of. his motion to open tlio proceedings of the Imperial Conferenco to the Press beisg carried. It seems to us extremely unlikelv that the Homo authorities will consent .to the more important questions submitted to the Conference being discussed in tho presence of reporters, ; and even if they did the resident correspondent,,of the various colonial newspapers could do all that was required just as well as a couple of, men specially imported for the occasion: Sir Joseph, Ward need have no fear that the present news service from the-Oid Country, with all its defects, ..will not provide an adequato' outline of the proceedings of the' Conference Mid'a picturesque :account', of the cercmonies at the' Coronation."-
