A deputation from the Win© Association asked the Hon. W. C. Grahame, Minister of Agriculture, to take steps under the new Wine Bill to encourage and develop the industry, which, amongst other advantages, would open a field of employment for returned soldiers. Mr Grahame, declaring himself a "wowser," said that Australia would he better without vineyards, and the world would be better without liquor. He would rather see a soldier without a farm than that he should have a vineyard. These were mere personal views, and lie promised to place the request before the Cabinet.
