AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH.
The No-Confidence Debate.
No Sympathy with New Zealand.
[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.]
Mklbouenk, This Day.
There are great preparations for the fight on Mr. Reid’s censure motion tomorrow. Both sides are marshalling their forces. Ministerial heads had a close c nsultation.
It is understood that they are prepared to make certain tariff concessions in response to the dissatisfaction amongst both Freetraders and Protectionists.
Ministerialists forecast a majority of from 10 to 15 when numbers go up. Seddon’s complaint in regard to the tariff shutting out Now Zealand produce is freely discussed, but little sympathy is expressed on either side. The Freetraders point out that New Zealand is having a taste of the policy she deliberately adopted, and cannot complain when she feels that it cuts the other way, while Protectionists say that Seddon ought to come into Federation. If he took no risks over Federation he cannot expect'to' reap any benefits. It would be a very one-sided arrangement if Australian markets were open to New Zealanders, and Australia shut out of theirs.
