i LONDON, May 7. I Mr Theodore is sailing on the 14th for the Continent. Ho explained that Ihe contemplated, entering Federal '.politics before leaving Australia, but 1 delayed the announcement because he , felt, morally obliged to settle the loan., i He regarded himself as politically rej sponsible for tho pastoralist legis'a- ; tion which antagonised 'London finan- ; ciers in 1920 and compelled him to re- ' sort to New York for money. It was ! unfair to leave bis successor to sliouli der the responsibilities. He had de- : termined, therefore, not to leave State j politics until Queensland’s credit was j absolutely re-established on the Lon- ] dor; market. ' Tho result of' the last loan demonstrated that beyond a • cloiibt; therefore he was freed.—A. | and N.Z.O.A.
