The Premier (Mr Ogilvie)j referring to the action of the Commonwealth in excluding Airs Freer from Australia, said the contrast between the,{attitude of the New Zealand Government and that of the Australian Government was “all to the advantage of New Zealand.”
“If: the Government purported to act for the Australian people, then we are entitled to know the reasons, for their actions.
“That such reasons were not given, indicates fear, and justly so, if as is stated, the reason for exclusion of Mrs Freer was purely p .matrimonial reason.’’ jjiupßm iillij ‘d
