Fisher, tho Commonwealth Prime Minister, was wholehearted in lils desire to effect reciprocity between the Coinmonwcalth and New Zealand. Jlr.

Tho fates and fortunes of the Dominion and the Commonwealth were, wrapped together, .and they would float or fink together whether they desired it or not. J Other peoplo had decided that.
