THE PREMIER IN QUEENSLAND.
Mr Sdddon Ivas (remarks the Brisbane “Telegraph” o,f 17th January) given proof of his vigour during lids short stay here. He has made several characteristic speleches, has welcomed Hew Zealanders ' returning from the war., been greeted by Nejw Zealanders living here, and by no means leiast, has mooted the question of running a line of steamers direct from this State to Maoriland. At a meeting held to welo©me him to Brisbane, Mr Seddon said : “Our attitude in .New Zealand is —(‘Suspend your judgment.’” It is a sensible attitude in every way —for it implies a national “sitting -on a rail/’ so as to be able -to jump down on the proper, side at the proper moment. In effect, New Zdalaad intends to let Australia pick the federal cliestnu fc from the fire, and, if it is worth nibbling, she theh may grab a bit of it. If not—well, New Zealand will tell us what fools we wsre. Seddonism is a faculty we .might ,cultivate with advantage. Among es-New Zealanders present at the meeting in. Brisbane werer-h-G. K.
