The "Sydney Morning Herald," confc, men.tmg o n Mr geddon's Pacific federation/ _ Bcheme, says : —^ Australia's chief conce|n with regard) to the Islands i» that they shaHJ not pass into foreign hands, and th«b am* trade shall no* be shut curt. It raSgb* eeeatf merely selfish and narrow to resist heading! over to New Zealand 1 islands which Be not; far beyond her geographical sphere, Jbtrt "H. New Zealand decides to take up a position; • of isolation from the political system; of the? - Greater British populations of Australasia,then she must not blame the latter if theyi prefer to retain' in thek own aands oppor^ tunities of making larger Pacific territories inltegral, or subeidiary, parts of their tmoi Federation. If New Zealand comes in with' us she will secure our influence on behaJiS, of her legitimate expansion' in the Pacific,! as well as her influence im Australasian af-l fairs. She will secure both by entering our! Federation ; she may lose 'both' by isolating herself."- . ,
