LATE MESSAGES
MELBOURNE, March 29. Polling to-day on the issue of the State-wide question of shall liquor licenses be abolished. The voting is compulsory. The 1.029,000 electors enrolled will be asked to say yes or no. Sixty, per cent, of the votes polled are necessary to carry prohibition. Two districts Nunawading and Boorondara, already dry, are unaffected by to-day’s vote, as licenses in these two districts can only be renewed by the vote of the people of those districts at the local option poll. The campaign has been strenuous and bitter. It has been notable for causing breaches in the ranks of the Labour Party and Housewives’ Association. LONDON, March 28. Mr. Wilford will represent New Zealand at the Conference next week between Nahas Pasha and M Henderson to discuss the Egyptian treaty.
RIQ DE JANIERO, March 28. The recent coffee crisis has turned the attention of the ranchers in Sao Paolo and other States to wheat. It is expected as a result that Brazil will be able to supply her own requirements, thus displacing imports which have hitherto come from Argentina.
