The Times, commenting on the growing importance of Australian settlers in the country and throughout the bush districts under tho Commonwealth administration, and the tendency to resist apprehended entanglements with British interests abroad, wherein they think they havo no concern, urges the necessity for Mr Chamberlain's fiscal enquiry to ascertain the possibility of strengthening the material bonds binding Britain and the colonies, and convincing the colonists that their main interests lie within the Empire.
