Annexation of Fiji.
Sydney, October 23
The Herald (Sydney) commenting on Mr Seddon’s committee to inquire into Federation, says it will be difficult now that the Commonwealth has become organic not only without the co-operation of New Zealand, but with some opposition in that quarter, as in the case of proposed annexation of Fiji, to find a basis either for reciprocity or influence. No doubt the Commonwealth will favor a course for amicable relations as far as the interests of the States will allow, and on all grounds the friendliest interaction among the Commonwealth States and colonies is to .be desired; but New Zealand has now to deal with an authority in Australia that will not be swayed by sentiment alone.
