FEDERATION COMMISSION
[per peess association. I
CnRISTCHunCH, February 18. The Federation Commission opened this morning. G. G. Stead was tho first witness. He believed if the colony federated, there would not be tho increase in the export trade that many expected as Australia was producing sufficient for her own requirementf-. The social legislation in this country had been on the whole for the benefit of the worker, and he thought it would be retarded if they federated.
William Reece. Mayer, considered iiie financial difficulty sufficient, to deter the colony from federating. Hugo Frieolander, wool and grain merchant of Ashburton, considered New Zi.'aland should remain as she- i?, and wait and watch the results of federation in Australia.
