NEW ZEALAND & AUSTRALIA. MR, FISHER PROPHESIES A UNION INTERESTING SPECULATION Br TelccraDh—Prcas Association—OoDTrfchl Molbourno, January 21. The Prime Minister, Mr. Fisher, takes an optimistic view of tho prospect of Now Zealand eventually forming part of the Australian Federation. Within fivo years he thinks thoro will be an agreement between tho Commonwealtll and the Dominion on defence, and within twenty j-ears New- Zealand may join the Federation. Mr. Fisher does not wish to be definite as to the nature of tho incorporation of tho Dominion with tho Commonwealth or the period that may elapso before it is accomplished, but ho set down twenty years as a speculative indication. , • Many politicians hero think that with tlio Labour party seeking to fore® tho paoe towards unification, the probabilities of New Zealand forming a political compact with Australia become practically more remote.
