SIR JOSEPH WARD.
Although Sir Joseph Wwd has voluntarily 'retired from the position . f Prim© .Minister of Neiw Zealand, so that the party to iwhiich he belongs may be given, a temporary .reprieve, his position in the politics of the country is one that he cannot tbhtinoie to hold in justice to himself and his constituency. Nobody has cavilled at h',is selectioni as a member of the Imperial Trade Commi'S&icin ; but if he .'." to be truly representative of the country's interests o-m that Commi-ssieir, he must rise above party politics entirely, anlcl devote hlmsollf assiduously to the solution of the trade problem's of the Empire (in general, and tof Now Zealand i.m particular. In view of alii, the .circumstances, it would be a statesmanlike act on! the part of S.r 'Joseph to withdraw from the political j arena in the meantime, and endeavour to focus his /attention upon the broader questions of Empire.
