TARIFF RECIPROCIT.
NEGOTIATIONS WITH AUSTRALIA. MELBOURNE COMMENT. I By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, March 24. A message received from Melbourne says that public interest continues to grow respecting the tariff negotiations between the Commonwealth authorities and the New Zealand representative (Mr. Downie Stewart), and the question is exciting interesting speculations in the lobbies of the Federal Parliament, and commercial circles generally are discussing the question under the heading, “Who holds the whip hand?” The Melbourne Herald says, “Mr. Stewart has made no secret of the fact that the desire of the Dominion is to bargain, and this is distinctly unpalatable to the Commonwealth, which wants the preference to be general on both sides.” The Herald continues: “New Zealand is too good a customer for the Commonwealth to lose, as would be the case if the negotiations broke down. It will be interesting to see whether the Commonwealth attitude will be modified if the Dominion remains firm in her present demands.”
The paper concludes the article with the question, “Does New Zealand hold the whip hand?”
