LEXTER FROM MB CHAMBERLAIN Electric Telegraph—Per Prega Association—Copyright. Received 12.55 a.m., Jan 7. Sydney, Jan 6. Mr Chamberlain, in a letter replying to j the Chamber of Manufacturers’ invitation | to visit Australia, and assurances of con- j tinned support, says he thinks it would be premature to contemplate a visit until we are nearer a successful result in this country. Agitation in the colonies onght to be followed by immediate action here, I and until we can. promise that it wonld be unfair to our friends and supporters that I should attempt prematurely to call forth an enthusiasm which would be succeeded by a reaction ii the mother oonntry di.d not immediately respond. Ho hoped, however, that though postponed for the present, a visit may be possible before FebI rnary. I Mr Long declares that when British I people were convinced their kinsmen in | the colonies desire commercial preference I as a first step to closer anion of the em- | pire, and they will be prepared to meet I the mother country io mutually advan- | tageaus arrangements, he believes the I people will insist on opening negotiations I with this objeot.
