AUSTRALIA.
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraoh—Cooyright. FIJI ATTORNEY-GENERAL. SYDNEY, Feb. 19. Mr P. O. Ediin, the new Attorney-General of Fiji, has arrived from London. COLOURED LABOUR, (Received Feb. 19, 9.39 p.m.) BRISBANE, Feb. 19. The “ Sugar Journal,” commenting upon Mr Barton’s attitude towards coloured labour, -says that the real issue has been entirely overlooked. The Premier’s utterances are not only a danger to the sugar industry, but also a danger to any effort to establish coffee, tea, spices, or other purely tropical growths. The real question is the settlement of tropical lands, not only in North Queensland, but also in the whole of tropical Australia. Comparatively few, the “Journal” says, realise the immensity of the whole problem.
