London, April 24. During the debate on the second reading of the Federation Enabling Bill in the House of Lords, Lord Derby said that the absence of New South Wales from federation might possibly raise a fatal objection to the measure. The action of that colony was inspired by doubt, and not by hostility to the Bill, and a clause has been inserted mainly to remove these objections, and he thought the colonists would accept the decision of Parliament in the matter. The Bari of Delaware considered that a complete union of the colonies was impossible at present, although it would be madness to reject the scheme. He approved, of the objection by the colonies to secession, which had been printed and circulated by their Agent-
General. Lord Carnarvon thought that the omission of clause 31, providing for the withdrawal of any colony, would postpone federation for years. Lord Bury said the Bill would be a leap in the dark, pending the decision of New South Wales. The “Times” says that federation without New South Wales would prove of little value.
