Mv Lyne has received the following cable from Mr Barton: —"The 'St James's Gazette' publishes an interview with Mr Reeves stating that New Zealand opposes the Commonwealth : Bill, especially Clause 6, and the Privy Council' clauses, urging delay and taking, a.further Referendum in Australia. The tone is and we doubt Mr Seddon's approval. We suggest that you should join in a-representa-tion to New Zealand as to this most unfriendly action, and advise us> as to the result. From- the report I infer that Mr Parker, the West Australian delegate, and Mr Reeves, are collaborating. Communicate -this to the other Premiers."
