THE VIEWS OF THE "AGE." United Press Association—By Eieotrio Telegraph—Copyright Melbourne, April 20 The Age says:-—"The information obtained by the New Zealand Feder ation Oomsnission, though interesting, it hardly likely to have any appreciable influence od public opinion in that State." After referring to the hostile attitude of the majority o! the New Zealandera, and th© possibility of the hostility in time being modified, the paper lays "There are really only two points which have mutual interest. These are the commercial and defence aspects. The former, aa has been bliowb from the New Zealand stand point, does not oler any sufficient Inducement to favourably influence Federation, whilst the latter is one recognised a« a likely cause of friction. Few Zealand, separated from Aust ralia by a wide ocean stretch, can hardly be inclnded in any scheme of naval and coaat defence which will give general satisfaction. It would be far better to leave the matter as far as aaval dispositions are concerned in the hands of the Imperial authorities. If this view is taken, the defence question disappears, as well as the commercial, and on© of sentiment only ia left. We fear this is not sufficiently ■trong to bind the two countries to gsther. if it were forced the possi bility to be faced ia that the Australian Federal States would be saddling them selYei with an Ireland, whose griev ances would play a future part, pos sibly quite as distracting in oar politi cal life as the Irish question has in the Imperial Parliament. Snch a contin gency i« certainly not to be sought after or viewed with equanimity, and ready as the Australian States would be to welcome New Zealand into the Confederacy, the partnership is only to b@ thought of if effected on such terma m will ensure amity in the relations from first to last.
