AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND. POTENTIALITIES UNDER-STATED. Press Anoociation —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, June 12. (■Received Juno 13, at 7.20 p.m.) Tho Daily Chronicle has begun the publication of an interesting senes of articles by Mr Fenton MncPherson, special commissioner to Australia and Now Zealand, regarding the industrial possibilities far British people in tho Far South. Summing up his observations, Mr MacPherson says he found good reason to marvel at the restraint with which Australians and New Zealanders had written and spoken of the great possibilities of their countries. In a desire to avoid overstatement they had fallen into tho error of under-stating the case. Mr MaoPhorsou was specially impressed with tho kindly and considerate way in which Now Zealand immigrants were treated. There was an entire absence of fussy officialism, and each family and individual was interviewed separately.— Router.
