LONDON, March 25. The Hull Chamber of Commerce tendered a banquet to Mr Barwell, Premier of South Australia. Mr Barwell, in a speech, referred to the Commonwealth Government running lines of steamers. He believed in private ownership and control. Government control was foredoomed to failure. Australia was passing through trying times like England. The Australian working men were being led by Bolshevik extremists, who were responsible for class hatred between capital and labour, and the consequent, unemployment, which were holding Australia back. They must get down to a proper economic basis. What was wanted in Australia was lower wages.
