(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION. —COPTRIQHT.) (AUSTRALIAN - NEW ZEALAND CA»L! ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 28th March. \The Financial Times commenting on the Labour defeat in. New South Wales, says it is regarded in the city as a good omen. It is hoped that the many years' dominance by Labour theorists over Australian politics is at last seriously threatened.

Labour will ha.ye to mend its policy, or public opinion will enforce itself sooner or later. Already capital is shy of entering the Commonwealth, and it is a timid bird to tempt back once it has really taken flight."
