The New Zealand Pre mier Entertained.

Preferential Tariffs

The Colonies and the War

Mr Seddon, Premier of New Zealand, was the principal guest at the sixth annual New Zealand dinner held at (he Kind's Hall, Holborn Restaurant, London, on June 17th. There were over 400 gentlemen present, find the gallaries were crowded with ladies. The Hon. W. P. Reeves, Agent-General for Ne.w Zealand, presided, and Sir Montague Nelson was in the vice chair. After the loyal to.'ists and " The Imperial Forcf?," Lord Onalow proposed the health of the evening. After payingl an milogy to Mr Seddon, -whom he said, he had known for a considerable number of years, his Lordship said-In no part of the Empire had there ever been a more patriotic Government than that presided over by Mr Seddon. There had never been a Government so loyal or so imbued with the Imperial 3pirit —(loud cheers N--ns the democratic Govern ment of New Zealand. He had taken the trouble to inquire into what New Zealand had done in South Africa in proportion to her population, and he-found that, whereas England sent out 315,000 mea to South Africa, New Zealand would have sent out no less than 3tv0,000 men in proportion. (Cheers.) ONLY DONE THEIR DUTY. Mr Seddon, who was enthusiastically re- j ceived, said that, as he sat listening with j pleasure to the speech delivered by the j noble Earl, the ox-Governor, he felt that i the favourable remarks made were un deserved. ("No, no.") After all, the] people of the great country of New Zealand j and himself had only done their duty, i Cheers.) He listened to the reference } made to those colleagues who were first en trusted by the noble Lord with, grave re sponsibility. It would be to those who respected their memories a delight to know 1 that they faithfully carried out the pro mises made when entrusted with the re sponsibility. As time went on, and when ch.mges were proposed, one now sitting on his left and himself were misunderstood. Time, at all events, had passed, and what they were then doing in departing from old and well known lines was in the beat in terests of the colonies, of humanity, and the Empire. (Cheers.) When he was here to take part as New Zealand's representa tive for the celebration of our late good Queen's Diamond Jubilee the people of the mother country were told tlmt they could depend upon New Zealand in case of any emergency. (Hear, hear.' To visit now the mother country for the purpose of taking part in the ceremony of the Coro nation of our good and gracious King brought with it a tinge of sadness. Mr Seddon gave statistics to prove that the colony was in a prosperous condition, and then referred to the proposals of the colonies in respect to preferential trade with the mother country. It would be well if he read the resolution, also the notice given to the Secretary of State from the New Zealand Government, upon this question. He would not say that the misre presentation was wilful, but ifc was such as was likely to prejudice the position before the matter came before the conference, and might lead the public to come to an errone ous conclusion. The resolution was as fol lows :— "Itis essential tc the wellbeing of j the mother country and His Majesty's do | minions where the same does not exist, that preferential tariffs by way of rebate of duties on British manufactured goods car ried on British owned ships should bo granted, aud that in the mother country a rebate of duty on colonial products now l taxable should be conceded." When he told them that that resolution was drafted and forwarded in the month of December last, what connexion could there possibly be between the resolution and the Grain Tax proposed by the Imperial Parliament a few days ago ? The motion was conceived in this spirit. We desire to help, to give, and do not desire to take. They felt it was an opportunity to assist the mother coun try. It was LOVE, AND NOT SOfißlD MOTIVES, that prompted the Bending 1 of the resolution (Cheers.) He would not believe that mis representation was wilful. He would draw the.ir attention to the memorable speech delivered by the Prince of Wales at the Guildhall; that speoch was one which should be read by every wellwisher of our country. That speech pointed out a dan o-er to the Empire, and unless we met that danger as men and brothers he feared for our country. It is no use, ostrich-like, to hide our heads in the sands and say," It will all be well." When danger menaced, it was one's duty to do everything to avoid the possibility of lasting loss to our country. He feared there wore some p3ople who still fancied the colonies were only just emerg ing from the juvenile atnge of life. He would claim for the colonies that they had a ripe experience. It was with a knowledge mature and well developed that the colonies were seeking tol.ep their parents and kindred in the mother country. The colonies were entitled to be heard. Did any one say we were not losing ground in respect to manufactures and to trade ? (A Voice' —"Yes.") He would answer that gentleman at once. In New Zealand in 1896 the imports from America were a little over .£200,000. Last year the imports from America into New Zealand were over one million pounds, or an increase of five times what they were in 189(5. There was no reason why .£BOO,OOO of that million should have come from the mother country. (Cheers.) England received from foreign colonies .£413,000,000 worth of goods last year, and exported .£252,000,000 worth to foreign countries. This showed a balance of trade against the mother country of .£101,000,000. England had to send out that many golden sovereigns to foreign countries to meet the difference. (Cries of "No, no/) There was no mistake about this announcement. The difference between the colonies and the mother country was only eight millions, but when England sent eight million sovereigns to her colonies she was STRENGTHENING HERSELF AND THE COLONIES at the same time, and the colonies would give a return, as had been shown in the South African War. Continuing. Mr Sed don read a report of a speech made by Mr Shaw, the American Treasurer, in which he stated that the sovereignly of the Pncific would be transferred from the Union Jack to the Stars and Stripes. Did we not see in that, asked Mr Seddon, a great danger ? (Hear, heir.) Ifc was our duty to be on our guard. At any rate, New Zealand was British, and Now Zealand would still keep her trade for Groat Britain. He was a Lancashire lad. (Loud cheers.) He would rather see the natives in New Zealand in cotton prinis coming from Lmcashiie than from America. (Cheers). There was no fear of our offending foreign nations if we I made reciprocil arrangements with the colonies. He showed respect for the memory of Cobden «nd IJright, There doctrines were sound in their own day, but we must view the case from our own time, and if we acted in the way which ho had indicated i wf> should bring about the state of things which was the hearts' desire of Cobden and his school. Thera was not one of the colonies who would not be prepared to give a preference to the manufactures of the mother country, and a rebate _ to those goods which were carried in British ships. (Cheers.)
