EXTRADITION LAWS
AUSTRALIA AND N.Z.
CLARIFICATION EFFORT
MOVE BY N.S.W.
| (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) I (Received June 6, 10.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Another effort to clarify the exI tradition laws between the Australian States and New Zealand has been originated by New South W ales. The State Government expects that the Prime Minister, Mr. J. A. Lyons, will instruct the Commonwealth Attorney-General, Mr. R. G. Menzies, to bring the matter again before the Dominions Office and the New Zealand Goyernment. The States desire that Part II of the Fugitive Offenders Act should define a uniform method to secure the extradition of wanted persons from New Zealand instead of their being forced by decision of the New Zealand Supreme Court to have recourse to the more cumbersome, j costly, and slow methods of Part I of i the Act.
