NEW ZEALAND MINISTERS ( ARRIVE PICTURESQUE SCENE AT STATION. Received Oct. 8, 11.5 p.m. London, Oct. 8. 111'. Massey and Sir Joseph Ward arrived at Paddington at 1(1 p.m. There was a picturesque scene at the station by a body of New Zealand troops, who, on the dimly lighted platform, greeted tilt visitors with rousing cheers. Mr. ( Massey, in a few words, expressed his , formal thanks. Sir Thomas Mackenzie and many Xew Zealanders and others were present, including Lord Plunkctt, Sir .J. Carroll, James Coates, Gilbert Anderson, General Richardson, Messrs , .Moss, Davis and Donne, Colonels Fitzherbert, Hall and Myers. The Ministers, their wives, and the . rest of the party are in the best of health, and were delighted to hear of the Now Zealanders' prowess at Flers, tempered with sad regrets at the casualties. They are staying at the Hotel Cecil, and are guests of the Government. IMPERIAL RECONSTRUCTION. VARIOUS VIEWS. London October G. The Daily Mail publishes a symposium upon .Imperial reconstruction. Lord Sydenham (late Governor of Victoria and Bombay), writes:— "The war has convinced me of the necessity of an linj>erial Cabinet-respons-ible to representativ* Senate for dealing with foreign affairs, defence, trade, communications and inter-migration. The war has provided democratic statesmen with the greatest chance, but the chance will quickly pass." Sir Sam Hughes (Canada), says:— ''We desire to join in the Imperial control of Imperial affairs," Sir William S'chreiner advocates an Imperial Conference, including India and Egypt. Sir Peter M'Bride (Victoria), advocates the representation of the Australian states Parliaments at the Peace Conference, because they are concerned more intimately than the Commonwealth with trade. Sir T. Mackenzie placed adequate Imperial defence in the forefront. Unless this was assured it was futile to deal with any other subject. A conferencs of Empire statesmen, aided by representatives of the great industries, should confer. New Zealand's resources were practically untouched, and were capable of enormous development. Sir M'Caul (Tasmania) advocates a conference of representatives of all parties in the various Empire Parliaments. WOOL CONTROL SOUTH AFRICA AT FAULT. AN IMPERIAL GUARDS' SUGGESi TION. London, October 6. The Yorkshire Post, in connection with the Army Council's negotiations to secure the control of colonial wool supplies, states that difficulties have arisen which may cause a modification of the whole plan. It is obvious that the same scheme should be put into operation with relation to all the colonies, but hitherto it has been impossible to arrive at a common agreement. It is unreasonable to expect Australia and New Zealand quietly to submit to further restrictions if South Africa retains the free market she has possessed ever since the war commenced. There lias been severe criticism of South Africa's action in permitting the unrestricted export of wool. If South Africa persists in the free export policy it is bound to react unfavorably for us in the other wool-growing colonies. A newspaper correspondent suggests that the appreciation of the military service of overseas troops might he marked by creating a regiment of Guards for Canada, Australia, Xew (Zealand, and South Africa, which, with the British Guards, would form the Imperial Guards. CONSERVING MILK INDUSTRY. London, October 0. The Board of Agriculture notifies that, in order to maintain the food supply and prevent a rise in the price of milk, no more men will be drawn from agriculture until January 1 or from milk pioduetion till April 1, unless to count-er-balance men released from the colors for agricultural work who are unlit for (rpneral service. It urges funnels meanwhile to prepare' for releasing men who may be lost later by women and older men. BUILDING WORK TO GIVE WAY TO MUNITIONS. .. London, October 6. Official notice is given that private building must be restricted. The inconvenience is unavoidable, consequent on the nation's urgent need for munitions. Factories in course of construction require more labor. At the same time every available man must be released ' for the Army and Navy. The necessity for tlvc restriction of private building is greater because, the use of construc- ' tional steel limits the supply of material, 1 which is essential to the prosecution of the war.
