SECESSION
(Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn.) i SYDNEY, August 18. The “Morning Herald” editorial, discussing the intense agitation in Western Australia, for secession from the Federation says:— The idea that Western Australia has been prejudiced from joining th? Commonwealth can hardly be denied.: but there are legal difficulties nor ! easily surmounted. One State cannot’ secede upon its own intiiative, and its fellow members cannot release it.. even if willing. The Imperial Parlia- 1 ment alone can unlock the door, with the assent of the other Australian States. The “Heraldasks: How would other States signify assent, as the constitution is silent upon the point. The plural marriage was for better or 1 worse, and no Court has jurisdiction to grant a divorce.
