THE FEDERATION QUESTION
J.PBB FKESS ASSOCIATION.)
Melbourne, January 2. The " Age," referring to Mr Deakin's speech at Dunedin, says it would undoubtedly add greatly to the power of any federation if it comprehended the great ittaoriland colony amongst the rest. The dearest interests of New Zealand outside its own bounds will be better subserved by partnership than isolation. It is probably of no great importance to Australia at the outset whether the federation includes New Zealand or not, but to Mr Deakin belongs the credit of setting local politicians to consider whether it is equally unimportant to New Zealand. Ihe "Age" also complains that the prohibitory charge enforced on the land line by the New Zealtnd Government for cables to the Australian Press makes it a matter of moment whether it is worth while opening up telegraphic correspondence or not.
