CLOSER RELATIONS.
NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA, NEWSPAPER OPINION. By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright Sydney, January 27. The "Daily Telegraph," ia a leading article, says that the people of New Zealand do not seem fired with the resolution of the Federal Labour Conference that negotiations for closer relations should immediately bo. opened, and baiiteringly adds: "The New Zealanders' attitudo suggests tho iciness of tho worker who has been offered an Irish rise in the shape of a reduction of wages. The dismal and utter absence of any signs of corroborating Jlr. Fisher's forecast that New Zealand may join the Federation within twenty years suggests that the New Zealanders are a people who selfishly consider themselves first, and have lost the sense, of what might bo done .for them, and to them, by being four days off Australia, under Governments beneficently .bent on turning Federation into a class autocracy which shall be a law unto itself. In their contemptuous indifference, is it ingratitude these islanders display, or a sense of humour?"
