ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.
j Colonel Jarvis, Canadian Minister foi Agriculture, who is visiting New Zealand in au unofficial capacity, has been i spending a few days in Auckland. I In tho course of a conversation with a representative of the "New Zealand I Horald," Colonel Jarvis said he had been much struck with the busy appearance of Auckland. "It seems to me," he said, "a very progressive community, and there is an air of solid prosperity about tho city." i "Then was New Zealand, before you came to it, merely a red spot on "the map ?" | "Well, I was certainly much surpris- [ ed on landing at Auckland at the busy ' appearance of the port and the character of the shipping. The business I men whom I have seen, too, appeared 'to be of a good commercial type, and ( thoroughly wide awake. I certainly | think there is room for improvement in the trade relations between Canada and . New Zealand. The Americans make I nothing that the Canadians cannot and !do 'not make. Again, Canada, it should always be borne in mind, is part of the one Empire, even as New Zealand is, and depend upon it the Canadians are mailing a very bold bid for trade within the Empire."
