NEW SOUTH WALES'S MISUNDERSTANDING.
DEBATE IN THE HOUSE.
Received June 18,11 p.m. London, June 18.
Replying to the Westminster Gazette Sir J. See cabled that his Government's reference to the declaration of the British Government was suggested by Mr Chamberlain's and Mr Balfour's speeches thereupon.
The Westminster Gazette blamed Mr Chamberlain and Mr Balfour for raising false hopes, possibly leadiDg to broken pledges, colonial reproaches, and bad faith.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman moved an adjournment with a view to correcting Sir J. See's misunderstanding and making it clear that Mr Chamberlain's and Mr Balfour's speeches were isolated expressions, nowise committing the Cabinet, inasmuch as the House was assured that pending the Government enquiry there would be no fiscal statement, and no conclusion would be formed and no action taken except after the subject was debated.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, paraphrasing the Westminster Gazette comments, endeavored to discuss the opinion of the colonies regarding a policy as between Britain and the world.
Mr Chamberlain interposing, the Speaker restricted Sir H. CampbellBannerman to the New South Wales Government's misunderstanding.
