land opinion in London is strongly opposed to nnv such course, it being foJtthat to fall in with the proposal would lose the Dominion her individuality. "\\ henever New Zealand moves she must do so on her own. The provision of up-to-date and central offices in London, where an exhibition of t!*o trade and industry of the countrywould be a permanent feature, is a question that ought to bo settled at the -earliest possible moment. The matter has become one of urgency, and as lease of the present premises in Victoria street is now being taken on for a further six months, a lecision ivith due regard to the dignity and prestige of the Dominion uhould bo reached without delay.
