Common Cause Against America.

Glasgow, July 28.-Premier Seldom of
New Zealand, in a speech here today,
said the colonies had already proved
that they love the motherland by send
ing their sons to fight in South Africa
They wished to go further and give the
mother country trade preference over
other nations, but too much attention
was being paid to what continental ma
tons might think What the colonies
and Great Britain should do was to
join in common cause to meet American
competition. Should this be done the
result need not be feared, said Mr.. Sed-
don, because the British workman and
manufacturers were unequalled in the
whole world.
