Australian Criticism of Mr Seddon's Remarks.
Oup Patriotism to be Measured ' by ou» Financial Gaine.Jl 49V} Received- June 13, 10.44 a.m. SYDNEY, June 13. The Dbily Telegraph,'- commenfinw' on Mr Seddon'e remarks' on preferential trado, says' it comes to this that; tho whole -of New Zealand's patriotism as a colonial unit of tho Empire is to be measured by the amount which it is allowed to get out of the pocket of the British taxpayer through the medium of trade concessions in frozen meat, kauri jjuin, and. other pr,&ductsj If 'the Eliipirc' will not give tKese concessions, let it be dismembered. There is, however, something to be learned < as to what the .off e£t ? bf a preferential trade 1 seheinc upon the Empire might 'be. It would remove the bond of sentiment which now^ binds the colpriies's'tojthe Motherland, and replace it by a, -tie of sordid interest which would,, im'mcdiatcty\ > become the cause of a luost'cuJtofffagsifyg friction.' -
