The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 78

German Policy

German Policy.

"Australian competition in the South Seas is very keen," declared Herr Dern burg in the German Reichstag the other day, "and this competition will have to be driven off the field, since it will seriously restrict the market for German goods." This is the German policy pretty plainly stated, and if British supremacy is to be maintained we shall need to "get a move on," as the Americans say. It is only human, of course, to desire the advancement of the interests of New Zealand over those of Australia, hut this, be it remembered, is a mutter where Imperial interests are at stake and a healthy rivalry between the Dominion and the Commonwealth will help and not hinder the extension of British trade. Where the work-a-day material interests lead, there the other sentiments and interests must follow to a considerable extent. The factors which mate for the increase and widening of trade relations between the scattered parta of the Empire in these southern seas must needs make also for an all-round consolidation and unity.
