SEPARATE STATE
MOVEMENT IN NORTH
BEYOND STAGE OF WORDS^
SYDNEY, 18th February. Following a speech by Dr. Barle Page on the agitation for a new State in New South Wales, the "Sun" to-day features an article-hinting that within a fortnight a most sensational move for the creation of a new Stato in the north will bo undertaken. The area comprised by the secession movement is 100,000 square miles, embracing the provinces to the north and north-west of Tamworth, the population of which is 400,000. The "Sun" says that the breakaway movement has gone beyond the stage of words. . It is expected that a conference of the new Stato Leaguers' meeting at the end of the month will make vital decisions which probably will lead, to an immediate announcement of secession from New South Wales. Well-informed people, however, point out that there are constitutional difficulties in the way of sudden secession.
