Melbourne, March 2.
Sir Edmund Barton, Federal Premier, doubts the authenticity of the cablegram regarding Mr Chamberlain's references in his address to the Cape Chamber of Commerce, to the colonies accepting a share in the responsibilities of the Empire.
Sir Edmund does not think Mr Chamberlain would have pat tho matter so pointedly, or that ho had in his mind the slightest idea of asking the great self-governing colonies to contribute the same proportion as the British taxpayer to the army and navy, ©r to " cut the painter."
