Recently an article by Mr Simons, in chargo of the YdfiTig Australia League boys, who are touring America, appeared, in tho local Press, stating that strong antipathy was shown by Now Zealanders to Australians, evidences of which were observed during tho boys' stay in Wellington. Sir William Russell,-.who is returning to New Zealand by the Mooltan, interviewed, declared that it was all nonsenso to talk of antipathy to Australians. Tho only feeling entertained towards Australians was one of cordiality and good-fellowship. New Zealanders had an intense lovo for their own country, but to say ,'tney "fliSpised Australians in the Dominion was ridiculous, TRo onTy real fact in -Mr Simon's statement was thaj^Now Zealanders in speech and mannerisms' \vero more English than Australians.
