He would welcome cheaper cor t inication to enable Laboui representatives to visit England Nothing is more admirable in Australian public life than the effort to keep permanent officials outside the scope of political influence. It would be difficult, says Sir Charles, to point to any part- of the world combining more advantages within the same space than New Zealand. British interests in the Pacific call imperatively for much better communication between the Pacific Islands. There is, he adds, considerable keenness in Australia and New Zealand for extended openings lor their youth in thfe Imperial services.
