The operations of .e American Harvester combination In lew Zealand continue to attract the' at tention of public men and the public gen erally. Members of the local parliament nnd the 'premier have been Interviewed by representatives of the New Zealand manu facturers, who, after fully considering the ..... a . i , ,itended to believe that the recent action of atter, decided to ask the government top ... ,,-,. prohibit the combine from operating In this colony. At the same time they ex plained that they did not wish such pro hibition to prevent local firms from Im porting the goods of the combine. It was slated that the combine had b-en in em inence for only five years, but It was only within the last year that It entered Into active, competition with colonial firms, formerly the colonial firms had Imported "trust" goods when they wanted them, and no firm had any serious cause for com plaint. It was suggested to members of Parlia ment that, the Implement Industry would ' saved to the colony If the combine were subjected to the prohibition mentioned. Unless some decided steps were taken the local Industry would be wiped out and then the combine would be able to charge any price It liked for Its machines, so thut while farmers might get cheap machines for a while eventually they would be the sufferers. The combination had taken an Australian harvester to America, dupli cated It, and -exploited Argentina, the re ault being that today It was selling In South America for $700 the harvester that was calling In Australia where there was still some competition for 1400. The manufacturers contend that unless some drastic measures are taken against the combination the same situation will be created In this colony. Americas Workma Cheapest. Another grievance of the local manu facturers Is that whereas "trust" Imple ments come In duty free, there Is a duty on -parts and on raw material Imported for manufacturing purposes, The combine. It appears, has also taken a' New Zealand disc, harrow, the product of New Zealand ' rurafne .and -ulernrtse.-. and-bad it eoniarf Uilt for bo If. to meet the New Zealand de ' main!. "The New. Zealand firms acknowl edge; that' they have no legal protection ngamst; this, though the colonial code of business morality gives each firm" protec tion agalgst Its fellow firms: The Australian manufacturers also point out that America scores particularly In re ward to labor, the American artisan Work ing with trie best machines on piece-work, ho that his output is much greater and much cheaper than that of the colonial workman. 'Who receives a fixed Wage and ho works just as he pleases. Simply put. the position Is that the New Zealand manufacturer cannot meet tha competition of the combinations of Amer ica. It Is claimed that the 'trust" has a i-upltaj of $125,000,000 and that It will be able to annihilate tha colonial firms within four or five years, or st all events reduce their establishment to the level of repairing shop. - .When the question of - prohibiting the combination from operating in New Zea land was put to the premier ho asked the ueputation if . they wanted a commercial war with America. ; Mr,. Sedon. confronted with a general election and probably some opposition from the farmers, 'did not seem disposed, to take any action either by way of prohibition or the Imposition of a pro hibitive tariff. All he would do was to ad vise tha manufacturers to confer with rep. itssntaUves of the farmers and endeavor to prove to them that in the long run It would be best for them to patronise the local manufacturer. "Trnat" R reaentative Talks. Mr. Rywater. the local representative of ,W comoinauon in New Zealand, exnlained that the "trust" handled the Dehorn, the Ierlng. the MoCormlck. the Piano and the Champion binders and that the reason of the amalgamation was a desire to reduce the cost of management There was now one office and one staff, so that a great saving in expenses nad been effected, with the result that the "trust" waa able to sell machines cheaper than formerly. Instead of wishing to squeese out the local men. the "trust." he said, had shown a tfeaire to encourage them by giving orders for the manufacture of certain machinery locally. The work, however, waa faulty and it waa ....v ri"uiiuu'iy none ana me result was ....v lummnv wnuia now nave to get nese .macnines made In Australia or America. , In answer to this the local manufacturers maintain that the local Industries will be killed by the "trust." .whereas If It Is ro- ' hlhlted In New Zealand the number of me chanics In the Implement manufacturing industry will. In a few years, be Increased by l or y0 per cent. In 1H the nuntber of Implements manufactured i.i the colnny wse between 80,050 and K,000.

DUBLIN. Nov. !. Special Cahl.gTHm to The Bee.) Mr. John Redmond. M. P.. ad dressing a United Irish league nitlr.g at Loughrea In County Galway, said thnt Ire land was united and determined to r main united. Perlous amendments were required to the land act to settle the Trlsh land question. The real land question was the uneconomic holding and the grass lands, and as to that In the west the act had been a failure. Compulsory powers were wanted to vttle the question.,, Dublin castle, had Issued regulations making It Impossi ble to work the Important clauses of the act, and Mr. Wyndham. who had Issued those regulations before he left oinre. In the form of confidential letters, was re sponsible for that. Mr. Redmond went on to say that tha home rule question was at that moment passing through a strange and Interesting stage In England. They had recently been told by several English politicians of both parties that the home rule qustlon was dead, or at least of so little urgency and Importance that It ould safely Ik put on the shelf with lost causes and exploded fallacies. Strange If home rule was really dead that these men were never tired of speaking and writing about It. Tho truth was that home rule was again beginning to loom once more, larger and larger on the political horizon. There were some liberal politicians who believed or who pre Hie inin pHriiBiiirniitry 'n in J,'i -Ing liberal candidates in English elections whose declarations on home rule were timid and doubtful, meant that tne Irish party mere about to acquiesce In the shelv ing of home rule. He now respectfully told these gentlemen that they were living In a fools' paradise. It was the settled policy of the Irish party at this moment to do everything they could to discredit and weaken and defeat the present government, and to hasten the date or a general election, dui mose w.. Imagined that that meant that either at the general, election Itself of the nuxt Par- llament they would tolerate the betrayal of , Ireland by the liberal party would meet j with a rude awakening. He, himself, was , not uneasy about the future of the question of national self-government. Given a united Irish party and a united country bvliind It no liberal government would attempt to ignore Ireland's demands. Today as never before.

TRIP PLANNED TO FAR NORTH Yonna- Dane WosH Make Barvey of - Some Recently Discovered Land and Water. LONDON, Nov. 18. (Special Cablegram to , The' Bee.) Captain Emar Mlkhelam, a young Dane, who In spite of his years la plans for. a. new the Arctiu regions. He does not propose to look for the North pole.. He' thinks that this Is being rather overdone at present, and he doubts whether any one will ever reach it with the existing means of transit and com munication. He la of the opinion, too, that If the pole Is reached nothing but water will be found. The objects of his expedition are to ascertain whether there ls land to the north of Beaufort sea, to examine thor oughly tho shores of the country already known in the Arctic regions and to carry out a close Investigation of the habits. methods of life and legenda of the Ksktmo tribe at Cape Bathurst. The other members of the expedition will be Mr. Ernest Lcltingwell, the American geologist; Mr. Dltevseu, a Danish artist and naturalist, and probably a student of history and folk lore. Captain Mlkhelam proposes to start from Edmonton on the Saskatchewan early next April and go down the Athbasca, Slave and Mackensie rivers .to the ocean. He will then make for Cape Bathurst and thence to Banksland. The search for the unknown land will begin In March, 190T, and the expedition will return to Sun Francisco the following Oc tober.

Parliament has boen prorogued again, as is usual at this time of the year unless a general election is immedi ately pending.

Liberals Uet Together. On the other hand, there appears to be "gv-ttlng together" of the liberals. The con servatives do not like t because Lord Rose bery calls Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman his "dear old friend.", John Morloy says thai there has been a steady and persist ent attempt to depose-the House Of Com- phew, t administration. He axaerts thut everything la at sea' in the various gov- ernment departments. The War office win a perrect chaos. "Go to the Colonial office," continued Mr. Morley. "They havn made a nice mess of It. The secretary of state dous not appear to know the facts and has never ihude' a serious uttempt to defend the Chinese labor ordinances. Then take the Indian office. One will find there that through the action of the secretary of state the viceroy has been chased out of power by the soldier, and the secretary of Btate has sanctioned the operation.'; But, Mr. Morley added, he thought that ever since the days when Charles I had lost hi head It had . been agreed that the civil power should prevail over the military power. Meanwhile Mr. Lloyd-George Is declaring at Kirkcaldy that the government Is Mr. Balfour. "The rest are- a sort of a filling in."' he says. 'They are what is called , In the drapery trade a collection of remnants the best things left to choose from after the season of unionism has finished. Every tary candidate Is a little Balfour. Mr. Bal four Is not a man, but a mannerism a new cult Vhlch ls a danger to the state." Foreign Policy Units All. Upon matters of foreign policy there does not appear to be the divergence of opinions to be found In connection with matters of domestic policy. This was clearly Indicated In the address of Victor Cavendish when he remarked at Derby: "I am glad the gov ernment's foreign policy meets with the approval or the liberal party. If the lib erals conduct their own policy on similar lines when they get Into power they mny safely rely on the support of the unionist party." As for Mr. Mopley, he la proving a sore trial to the "Liberal leaguers." They ap pear to think that It would not be quite safe to denounce, him. although he threat ens to become a serious obstacle to the fulfillment of their scheme for getting Into power to work out the "wise opportunism" policy. He has actually ticketed the word "efficiency" as a mere catchword, not a principle. Anyone who does not believe that when Lord Rosebery called for effi ciency he uttered the last note of patriotic statesmanship ls in their eyes accursed. The Westminster Gazette, which so co- quettishly declared itself the other day as being "teased by Lord Roaebery's threats of detachment" struggles heroically to res cue "efficiency" from the catchword cate gory, but its argument is quite unconvln- ! clng. and the painful fact remains thst Mr. Morley' appeal for principles as opposed to catchworaa nas grievously fluttered- the Roseberyite dovecote. The condition of mystification to which Mr. Balfour has reduced the supporters of the unionist party ss to his convictions. If any, on the fiscal problem Is amusingly Il lustrated by the case of West Norwood.

LONDON. Nov. !. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) News has reached .England of a well known eastern traveler and scientist who left In Mny, ir on an ex pedition into Tibet.

The Dalai Ism. eM fled from Lhasa on the approach of lh l-:Ht1sh. went into the Kokonor district an.1 remained there, unable to make up his mind ss to whether he should seek protection in Russian or Chinese territory. His hesitation was duo to the news of the Russian defeats at the hands of the Japanese In September, 1W4. and he decided to writs lo the emperor of China to ask If it were true that Russia, his great friend, had been overthrown by the Jspanese, , He received a reply to the effect that It was so and that. Russia would not trouble Tibet any more. The Dalai Lama then moved to Vrga. where he received orders from the Chinese to go. to Peking and have : an audience with the emperor before re turning to Lhasa. Although th majority ni the citizens of l ana monasteries are no because they see in this the final downfall of Russian lnflucncs ar,d that their ruler has returned to fvur with the Chinese emperor and that ths days of rich gifts ( and money from the Russian government are ended. As a matter of fact they pre dict an outbreak nf hostilities when the Dalai Lama returns. , The Dalai Lama has-been Informed of all that has haprlened In the country and In Lhasa during his absence and In con sequence la afraid to return Just yet. In fact, taking Into consideration that he will certainly not venture to move during the winter, the winters being very severe, he can hardly reach his palace at the Potala before next July 6r August and ao things must remain In. a disturbed state for months to come. The Chumbl valley is in a flourishing con dition under the beneficial rule of the Brit ish and the crops this season hove been exceptionally havy. ; The Inhabitants are industrious and peacefuh and roads, telo graphs, buildings, etc., are being erected In all directions.

Secretary Tatt'a Speech. Secretary Taft went Into the history of the operations of the United States gov ernment In connection with the canal at considerable length. He detailed the or ganisatlon of the first commission, the ap portionment of work among members of the executive committee and finally gave again his version of the Wallace episode. This latter explanation was Incidental, and did not vary from what waa made public at the time Engineer Wallace severed his con nectlon with the canal. The experimental work of excavation, done by Engineer Wal lace on the Culebra cut, and on which his support of a sea level canal ls based, was pronounced of doubtful value, because of the fact that it was done under conditions not likely to prevail In actual working con ditions, owing to the length of haul that will be necessitated by the proper disposi tion of the soil. By the first of Decem ber, saye Secretary Taft, the United States government will have expended lfiO.000,000 in Its efforts to acquire an Isthmian car.l. This Includes the payment to Panama for tha canal atrip, the payment to the French Canal company tor Ita right and property and the money expended In preparatory wjwJi.
