He stated that a Cabinet subcommittee had been appointed to prepare for the Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa in the summer. NEW ZEALAND AND CANADA. NEGOTIATIONS CONCLUDED HONOLULU, January 9. (Received Jan. 10, at 7 p.m.) The Canadian-New Zealand treaty negotiations have been concluded, but are subject to ratification by both Parliaments. It is understood that the terms of the agreement are likely to be productive of an extensive development of trade both ways. Details are not available. Mr W. Downie Stewart and Mr H. H. Stevens, in a joint announcement, state that the details must await parliamentary ratifications. A fine spirit of friendlessness had been maintained throughout the discussions. Mr Stewart will return to New Zealand by the Niagara on January 13,
