Upon questions of such a delicate character it is inadvisable to be unduly pressing, lest inharmonious notes should be introduced where the utmost cordiality should exist, but if Sir Joseph Ward c*ould arrange that Mr Massey as leader of a loyal Opposition should accompany him to London, it would be a graceful recognition of the non-partisanship of our Imperial politics, and the delegation would be wholly representative of the people of our Dominion.
