SYDNEY, Juno I
Tho Governor-General and the Stato Governors havo cabled expressions of sympathy to Mr Borden.
Tho Hon. W. A. Holman, Premier of New South Wales, referring to tho disaster, said ho supposed the enquiry would end in tho condemnation of somo unfortunate second mate or a seaman. There would be no safety for the travelling public till the directors of companies which sent 1500 people to sea in a _hip capable of destruction in fifteen minutes wore put on -trial as accessories to manslaughter. Ho hoped th© Canadian Government would deal with tho calamity in that spirit, not merely by saying that those implicated wero innocent or
guilty. The disaster might have been a mere act of God, but if it was duo to human failing, the peoplo who made money by gambling in human lives ought to be punished.
