ASIATIC IMMIGRATION.

AMERICA AND DOMINIONS. By Talograph — Pres# Asuoointmn— Uourrighs. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. WASHINGTON, December 7. The Australian and Now Zealand Press Association correspondent interviewed Senator -Lodge, who said: “My statement concerning the co-operation of Canada, Australia and New Zealand with the United States regarding Asiatic immigration was merely a general statement of policy which I favour, and tho importance of which 1 do not think can be over-estimated. I believe such co-opera-tion may be obtained, but 1 have not yet considered or attempted to work out details. The question is one which I hope will engage tho attention of the incoming Congress and new Administration. I am not prepared at thus time to go any further into tho details of this very important subject.” Mr Sheldon, commenting on the Lodge interview, said, “ I learn this with pleasure. It will no doubt give satisfaction throughout the British Empire, and the more Of these understandings with tho United States on this and other matters, the butter pleased will members of the Empire be.”
