EXTRADITION LAWS
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ANOTHER EFFORT TOWARD CLARIFICATION SYDNEY, June 6. Another effort to clarify the extradition laws between the Australian States and New Zealand has been begun by New South Wales. The State Government expects that Mr. J A. Lyons will instruct the Commonwealth Attorney-General, Mr. R. G. Menzies, to bring the matter again before the Dominions Office and the New Zealand Government. The States desire that part two of the Fugitives Offenders Act should define a uniform method to secure the extradition of wanted persons from New Zealand instead of their being forced by the decision of the New Zealand Supreme Court to have recourse to the more cumbersome, costly and slow methods of part one of the Act.
