FEDERAL PREMIER

AIR SELIG’S IMPRESSIONS OF COMMONWEALTH. AUCKLAND, Nov. 5. “There’s every indication that Air Seullin, the new Prime Alinistcr, will he given a chance. He’s a sane sort of individual,” said Air P. Selig, ol Christchurch, who returned Horn Australian by the Alaheno to-day. “Air Bruce made some tactical blunders and what’s really wanted over there is the Arbitration Court to operate over the whole of Australia instead of in each State individually.”

Business people in the Commonwealth were complaining about the lack of trade and the drop in wool cheques was hitting them very laid just before Air Selig loft. However, there was a tendency for prices for wool to go up. There appeared to bo an orgy of spending in S\diu\, pecially in pleasure and amusements. Theatres were packed day and night and there did not seem to be n lack of money for those purposes. Buildings, too. were going up a 1 over the place. Despite that fact, there were over a thousand flats ° let in and around Sydney, and they were still being built. One ol eight storevs was being erected at Manly. Everything exempting boots was dearer than in the Dominion. lh‘ie had been a shortage of potatoes a so. and the Tasmanian crop lmd bee mopped up at £4l* a ton. though the later price eased a bit. There was no doubt that Australia should allow imnortalion ol New Zealand potatoes, but importations veto not allowed. Whm Air Sel.g asko, the reason for this, lie was informed that they wore blighly. Ho strenuously denied this.
