REV. J. COOK ON N.Z.
Sydney, August 12. TIIO Rev. Joseph Cook, interviewed 011 his return from New Zealand, said ho was much struck with tho extent to which State Socialism had gone in that Colony. The working man was using his political power to the utmost and not altogether wisely. There appeared to bo too strong a disposition to rely on the Government for help which ought to be rendered by individuals, having the effect of making capital scarce and driving it from the Colony, which will require all tlic wise guidance of its best men if the resources of New Zealand are to be properly developed. There could he 110 doubt that capital was injuriously cautious about launching into enterprise. What the Colony wants is population; it eouldstand twenty millions yet the working man won't have any more if he can help it. He wants to put a poll tax on people arriving instead of encouraging them to settle the land and develop its great resources.
