FEDERATION.
[By Telegraph—Press Association]. Melbourne, July 5,
The Argus says that no one is surprised, nor is there any general disappointment at the New Zealand Federal Commissioners’ decision. The fact is that if New Zealand were willing to come in there would be a very stiff fight with a largo party here hostile to her inclusion in the Commonwealth. The question is by no means settled, and only stands over, say, for a decade. Meantime we can cultivate cordial friendship, and a commencement may well be made by putting the postal relations, which to-day are neither commonsense nor friendly, on a commonsense basis.
