GOVERNOR O’BRIEN.
MR CHAMBERLAIN’S DESPATCH. NEWSPAPER COMMENTS. SYDNEY, -March 13.. The “ Daily Telegraph,” commenting on Mr Chamberlain’s despatch to Sir George O’Brien, in reference to the latter’s aspersions on the native policy of New Zealand, ;-:ays ; —“As it happened, Sir George O’Brien selected for condemnation. a. native policy which is a shining example of honourable intention and solicitous - administration. One other noteworthy phase of the affair is the extraordinary circumstance that any .Australasian Governor should not be fully’informed of at least the broad details of a prominent colony’s native policy. We should have thought that acquaintance with Australasian native policy would 1 be a sine qua non in the equipment of any official holding the position of Governor ,of an Australasian colony where there is a comparatively immense native population.”
