One of the most startling proposals yet in connection with the Anti-Chinese crusade is certainly that just made by the Agent-General for New Zealand, as
reported in our cable messages. It is nothing less than the sending of an Australian Envoy Extraordinary to Pekin to adjust the relations between the Australasian colonies and the. Flowery Land. It is still more startling to find that the suggestion ha* been favourably received in official quarters the desire to shirk a rather unpleasant piece of diplomatic duty on the part of the Imperial Government being evidently sufficient to prompt the establishing of a precedent that must fix the status of the colonies as semiindependent sovereignties for all time. Well may we wonder—what next?
