QUEENSLAND’S LAWS.
PREMIER RESENTS INTERFERENCE BY CAPITALISTS.
LOCAL POLITICAL FIGHTS SHOULD NOT AFFECT LONDON.
(Received July 18. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, July 17. Mr. Theodore, Premier of Queensland, speaking at a farewell dinner, said he hoped England never thought Queensland would repudiate lier obligations, but on the other band Queensland, like any other self-gov-erning Dominion, would never abdicate her functions of self-govern-ment. He passionately repudiated the action of capitalists in endeavoring to exercise control over the Government and bitterly resented the attempt by a few persons to prevent other people investing in Queensland and to intimidate them and his Government from adopting a policy that was not approved of by the City interests. It was unfortunate for Queensland particularly, and for Australia in general, that local political fights should be carried into the City of London. The self-government Dominions should he left to settle such questions for themselves.—A. and N.Z.C.A.
