FAMILY TEST
QUEENSLANDER’S CLAIM. LONDON, June 5. After listening to much talk by Canadian and South African delegates to the Imperial Congress of Chambers of Commerce about the merits of their respective countries, including a Canadian delegate’s statement that, he had “five upstanding boys, bred in Canada’s sunny clime, on Canada's wide plains,” and that Canada soon would be God’s own country, Mr. Ernest Hunter (Queensland) burst out: “I am fed up with all this talk about Canada. Australia is God’s own country, and I can tell you something about families. My eldest son is 43, my youngest daughter is 10 months.”
Uproar followed, and if was five minutes before the business was resumed.
