NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA
MB. FISHER'S ADVANCES. PRESS CRITICISM. Bj Cable—Freaa Association—Copyifekt Sydney, January 27. ' The Da3y Telegraph, in a leader, 6ays the people of New Zealand do not seem fired with the resolution of the Federal labor Conference, that negotiations for cloter relations should be immediately opened, and banteringiy adds: "The New Zealander's attitude suggests the iciness of the worker who is offered an Irish rise in the shape of a reduction in wages. The dismal and utter absence of any signs corroborating Mr. Fisher's forecast, that New Zealand may join the federation within twenty years suggests that New Zealanders are people who selfishly consider themselves first and who have lost the sense of what might be done for them and to them by a four-days-off Australia, under a Government which is beneficently bent on turning the federation into a class autocracy which shall be a law unto itself. In their contemptuous indifference, is it ingratitude these islanders display, or a sense or humor?"
