WITH PRESIDENT.
Premier of New Zealand
Anxious TO Secure a
Commercial Treaty

OYSTER BAY. July 6.-When Sir
Joseph Ward. the new Premier or New
Zealand, stepped from the train at Oys-
ter Bay today TO keep luncheon en-
gagement with President Roosevelt ne
frankly said the thing nearest his heart
in America was the development OF
reciprocity treaty between New zea land
and the United States. When Sir Io-
Seph returned to the station two hours
later. having fulfilled his luncheon en-
gagement. ne remarked:
"Reeiprocity Is not an easy thing 10
bring about in this country
Sir Joseph. adhering TO the rules ne
had laid down for himself in his jour
ney around the world, declined 20 dis
cuss the exchange OF ideas between
himself and President Roosevelt.
my hearty belief In your President
as a statesman OF strength, breadth
and courage" he said, has been most
pleasantly and emphatically con-
Armed"
His frank statement on arriving
at Oyster Bay that he intended dis
cussfng the possibility of reciprocity
with the President and his later COM
ments on that subject are interesting
as indicating the business-like scheme
he proposes:
New Zealand" he said. cts ready to
make a universal 10 per cent reduction
In her tariff to the United States in
return for a like concession, and Is pre-
pared TO make such a treaty binding
without action on the part Of the New
Zealand Parliament She nov grants
this reduction TO Great Britain, ana
would be glad TO do so to the United
states II this Is too broad a proposi-
tion. we would be glad TO make this
reduction on specific articles when
each nation buys abroad"
The Premier instanced wool and gum
used In the manufacture OF varntsh.
and said what New Zealand wants Is
certain grades of pine lumber. timed
salmon and many kinds OF manufac-
tured goods. He said there might be
opposition in New Zealand 10 reducing
their tariff on lumber. But" he added,
you have special interests In this coun-
try, too"
The New Zealand Premier here ad-
mitted he knew of the number OF reel
procity treaties now awaiting action at
the hands of the United States Senate.
New Zealand" he continued. Us

ulation of from 20, 100000 10 30.000.0o0.

mereial line, and we are willing"

WANTS LIBRARIES TO HAVE
BOOKS FOR IMMIGRANTS
James III. Canfeld of Columbia Sub
mits Plan for Assimilation of
Newcomers.

NARRAGANSETT PIER. r. T., July
"a recommendation that every pub
lie library in this country should be
equipped with hooks intended TO help
immigrants to become citizens was
citation today by James H. Garfield OF
the.<Columbfa University Law Library
He said:
Immigration to this country has
become so enormous and Is affecting
so directly all the conditions OF urban
life that we must assimilate those peo-
pie by the most rapid methods. IL Is
a mistake TO consider their presence a
menace. There ought TO be In every
public library in every city OF any size
at least the classics In several lam
guages to win the confidence of these
people and to draw them to those
Libraries. Once there they should find
elementary textbooks In civics and
other literature that will be helpful to
them in their new relations, translated
from English into their own language.
'1n other words, securing them as
patrons of the public library by their
own classics, we should minister 20
their needs precisely as we minister
to the needs of our own people. No
such text exists, even in English. II is
this very point upon which discussion
ought to turp-what this association
may be able to accomplish in the way
of preparing such texts.

The province of Baroda, over which
Sayaji is the absolute ruler under
the control of the English Government,
is about 5000 miles square and has a
population OF nearly 2,s00,0 900 people.

at fabulous figure.
Owing TO the crowded condition of
the Oakland hotels IL was impossible to
house the entire party under one roof,
necessitating the transfer of a portion
OF the baggage and servants to the Ho-
tel Touraine. Twenty-seven large
steamer trunks accompany the royal
party on the tour about the country.
