ANYTHING MORE LUDICROUS IMPOSSIBLE.
(Received May 28, noon.) MELBOURNE, This Day. In the House, Mr. Campson asked what attitude the censors took towards the speeches of .members. Mr. Joseph Cook said the censorship was unsatisfactory, restricting, awkwara, and irksome. It seemed as if a Minister, through the censor, could save himself from criticism. Anything more ludicrous than the censorship in Australia was impossible. The Hon. J. A. Jensen replied that there wots no censoring of criticism unless it> contained anything it did no good to tho public to know.
