Some members of the Australian Tariff Board are at present in Now Zealand, among them being Mr Walter l.eiteh. The latter has a good word to say for the Dominion, with its advantages of an equable climate and more uniform seasons than Australia has. The country appears to he prosperous, with practically no poverty, and the people well-dressed and well-fed. He thinks aiso that we have a solid Government and that the country is sound financially, industrially, and comnieicially. Among the public men he had met from New Zealand, he had a special word to say about, the lion W . Dowme Stewart, who had created a verv favourable impression when he was in Australia in connexion with the question of commercial reciprocity between New Zealand and the Commonwealth. Mr Leitch impressed those who met him here as being a shrewd man of affairs. He would like New Zealand to lot in Australian dried fruits on favourable terms, but when New Zealand potatoes were mentioned he had nothing to say.
