NEW ZEALAND AND THE COMMONWEALTH.
i MR. FISHER’S PROPOSALS. I (Received 11. 10.15 a.m.) Sydney, Feb. 14. Mr. E. Hoben. in a letter to the “Herald,” dealing with the relations of Australia and New Zealand, says a great many New Zealandeis are desirous of closer relations. Whether Mr. Fisher will comert New Zealamh rs to his view ns soon ns he hopes remains to be sc-.-n, but there is little doubt that as soon as the polities of New Zealand come out of the melting pot the question of closer relations with Australia in a commercial and industri-il sense will become matters of serious consideration. Mr. Hoben adds that a defensive commercial union, coincident with legislative independence, could not fail to prove in the long run mutually beneficial, whether it led to a fuller legislative union or not.
