LONDON, Sept. 1<). 'The announcement that .Sir Thos. Mackenzie's extension of the term oi his office hap expired has created | speculation in Anglo-New Zealand circles as to his possible successor. | The general opinion is that there is not likely to be an immediate change in view of the many special promeins arising from the war, requiring careful handling by the High Commissioner. - , The staff has recently been weakened owing to the breakdown of some of the most valuable officers, and this is given as another reason against an immediate change in the position. _ i New Zealand soldiers in Britain,
and France appreciate the manner m which Sir Thos. Mackenzie has teen daring for their interests, and are likely to deprecate any change in the High Coinmissionership during the war. It is pointed out that the main concern of New Zealand after the war will be the development of her trade, extending her markets, seizing new ones, picking up her disjointed commercial connections, and reporting upon questions of finance and reorganisation.
