A FREETRADE PLEA,
By telegraph, Press A«is'n, Copyright Sydney, Maroh 9. The Herald eays :— H If the New Hebrides agreement can be carried out with advantage to British interests, wo are bound to do our part, and the question is whither tbo Commonwealth cannot just add the something neocseary to give Britain more solid ground ior future negotiations. The trouble with the British settlement has been that Britishers have no markets unless they become French eubjeots, Why cannot we throw open our ports then, and thus add a new element to the situation net at a'l inimical to France, and show the world wo are prepared to do for our own oountrymen what France ia'V doiog for here.”
