SHORTENING OF HOTEL HOURS
A GERMAN'S INJUDICIOUS COM-
MENTS
RESULT IN HIS INTERNMENT.
(Received May 26, 12.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, May 2Q. In the Assembly, during discussion of the Temporary Restriction Act, Mr Earthing said Australians were the most sober people in the progressive parts of the world, but the teetotal party was using the tense feeling caused by the war to get a shorter;ing of hours and the final abolition of hotels. The Bill would not stop drinking, but would drive the trade into illegitimate channels.
As a result of his making injudicious comments on cable news posted outside a newspaper office, the authorities have interned a German who was naturalised at the beginning of the war. This is the first case of its kind.
