AUSTRALIAN RECIPROCITY.
(i!y Telegraph—Special Correspondent.l Auckland, March 14. Interviewed regarding tlie remarks of Sir Joseph Ward as to tiio prospects of reciprocity between Australia and New Zealand, .Mr. Arthur Jl. Myers, M.P., for Auckland Kast, states that lie would be heartily in sympathy with any tarid' that could be arranged with the object of assisting the trade and development of both countries. At the samo time having regard to the similarity of the products and industries of the Commonwealth and the Dominion, one must recognise the difficulty of making any scientific adjustment of the tariff. In such a case it would bo a much easier matter, for example, to arrange a reciprocal tariff between Canada and Cape Colony, the conditions of each country being so different from those of the other. However, if tho question wore carefully investigated by a commission composed of representatives of both countries, it was conceivable that it might be found that there was more scope for a mutually advantageous tariff than appears on the surface.
A conference on sleeping sickness, held at the Foreign Office between representatives of the British and Belgian Foreign and- Colonial Offices and officials of the Sleeping Sickness Bureau, the Chartered Company, and tho Rhodesia-Katanga .Kailway to discuss means of preventing the spread of tho diseas? by tho portion of the Cape-to-Cairo railway running from Broken Hill to beyond, tho Congo frontier, has decided that the route shall bo inspected and maps of the fly areas prepared. ■ It will then bo arranged that the railways cross the fly belt at the narrowest, points and not follow them.
