Outside Opinion of New Zealand.
(Pel* Press Association). Sydnky, This Day. The Rev. Joseph Cook, interviewed on his return from New Zeahnd, said he was much struck with the extent to which State Socialism had gone in that colony, whore the working man was using his power to the utmost, and not doing it altogether wisely. There appeared to be too strong a disposition to rely on the Government for help which onght to be rendered by the individual, having the effect of making capital scarce and driving it from the colony. It will require all the wise guidance of the best men if the resources of New Zealand are to be properly developed. There could be no doubt capital was. now injuriously cautions about launching into enterprises. What the colony wants is population. It could stand twenty millions, yet the working man won't have any more if he can help it. He wants lo put a poll tax on the people arriving instead of incouraging them to settle on the land and develop© its great resources. __„_„____„_
