“ Plenty of people, both in Austraia aud New Zealand,” deplore the way in which the two countries are drifting apart as the result of their antagonistic tariffs,” stated a wellknown Wellington commercial man to a Post reporter. “ Australia and New Zealand are practically putting every obstacle in the way of ’trade interchanges between them, and yet at the same time they both recognise the desirability of a greater interchange of visits between their peoples. Australians who come here iften feel that the New Zealand tar•ff is not sympathetic to them, and New Zealanders who visit the Commonwealth have quite a similar mentality towards Australia. I hold that Australia started thip tariff antagonism. and I recently surprised an Australian, who was complaining about our tariff, by telling him as much in ■pretty straight language.”
