CLOSER UNION.
BETWEEN AUSTRALIA AND NEW
ZEALAND
Jl NEW ZEALANDER’S VIEWS
(Received 14, 10.15 a.m.)
Sydney, February 14
, ( Mr E. D. Hoben, in a letter to the “Herald” dealing with the relations of Australia and New Zealand, says a great many New Zealanders were desirous of closer relations'. Whether Mr Fisher will convert New Zealanders to his view as soon as he hopes remains to he seen, but there is. little doubt that as soon as the politics of New Zealand come out of the melt-ing-pot the question of closer relations with Australia in a. commercial and industrial sense will become a matter of serious consideration, lie adds that a defensive commercial union coincident with legislative independence could not fail to prove in the long run mutually beneficially, whether it led to a fuller legislative union or not.
