WELLINGTON. N. Z., Nov. 1. tSpecial
blegram to The Bee.) 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

In answer to this the local manufacturers
maintain that the local Industries will be

hlhlted In New Zealand the number of me
chanics In the Implement manufacturing
industry will. In a few years, be Increased

REDMOND ON HOME RULE
IrUh Leader gays question la Passing
Thresth Strange Stage la
Fna-laad.
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

LONDON, Nov. 18. (Special Cablegram to

again, as is usual at this time of the
year unless a general election is immedi
ately pending. It is therefore practically
certain that Mr. Balfour will meet the

tion." 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.
The son of Mr. Gibson Bowles ls the tory
candidate and he describes himself aa a
follower of Mr. Balfour In favor of tha
British government being armed with
powers of retaliation hy Parliament if or-
raslnn should arise and the drawing closer
of the bonds thst unite the colonies and th !
mother country. The tariff reformer are
dissatisfied with this declaration of policy
and claim that Mr. Ba'four, aa Mr. Cham
berlain has claimed without repudiation,
has subscribed to Mr. Chamberlain' policy.
. . .Mr, Ban lea Insistent.
Mr. Bowles, controverts this Interpreta
tion of Mr. Balfour' view and says: "Let
ua unite In asking him which of us Is
correct." This suggestion Is regarded
showing that young Mr. Bowles Is a chip
off the old Dioc ana everyone la now wait.

DALAI LAMA IS NOW AFRAID

Those Who We friends of .

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. This crnMeman re
mained for some time In Lhasa, the capi
tal of the country. where ho. VArned much
that has happened since tha departure of
the British.
He discovered thai e. Ruffian caravan
had arrived at Lhasa nd brought many
rich presents for the sl-H d f the monas
teries with a View f resMnlng their po
litical Influence, which. hnr dwindled away
during the British o-ruptton. of Tlbet.
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. Tbe towns of Gyangtse and

whole district in comparison with the re

President Charles Nagel presided and
made a brief speech Introducing Secretary
Taft, who spoke on the subject, "The Pan
ama Canal."
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
