The Daily Telegraph, in a leading article, says that the people of New Zealand do not seemed fired with the resolution of the Federal Labour Conference that negotiations for closer reflations should immediately be opened, nind banteringly adds : "The New Zealanders' attitude suggests the iciness of the worker who haG been offered an Ir'ii.h rise in the shape of a reduction of vrages. The dismal and utter absence ekE any signs of corroborating Mr. Fishery's forecast that New Zealand may join the Federation within twenty years, suggests that the New Zealanders are a people who selfishly consider themselves first, and have lost the sense of what might be done for them, and to them, by being four days off Australia/ undtar Governments beneficently bent on turning Federation into a class autocracy . which shall be law unto itself. In their contemptuous indifference, is it ingratitude these islanders display, or a sense of humour?"
