Canada and Australia

'."■>" Ottaw^March .28 J The Canadian Government has in structed Commissioner Larkp to re port upon goods suitable for profitable interchange with Australia on a pre ferential basis. Sydkey, March 80 The Daily Telegraph, referring to the instructions received from the Canadian Government by Commis sioner Larke, says the task will not be an easy one, Apart from the fact that our products are mostly raw material, which Canada does not want, there is another point which Canada has not taken into consideration. That in, the, divided Australian colonies have not yet beeii educated to the systeip of preferential treatment. JJoakipg »t the question from the latter aspect it is not at all likely that those colonies which never afford the least advantage to one another, and.' especially Vic toria, New South Wales and .Queens land, would favor Canada in the matter of reciprocity. If New South Wales was to carry freetrade, there would be no duties to barter with Canada, which would be free to send what goods she can in the hope of a market here.
